Below we hear from my friend David Oaks on the one year anniversary of his accident that led to paralysis and a wheelchair. Hes not feeling sorry for himself but back as an activist/leader asking us to take a little time this week to demand a change in the Chamber of Commerce policy of denying the climate crisis exists. If you cant attend or flash mob protest, you can still call or write the Chamber and let them know their position is unacceptable. Eugene Chamber of Climate Crisis Posted by David W. Oaks on Nov 19, 2013 in Environment, Updated: Monday Dec 2nd – See below for before or after gathering. Also see how you can help where ever you live. Flash Gathering: Eugene Area Chamber of Climate Crisis Tongue in Cheek Award Ceremony Thursday, December 5, 2013 Contact: David Zupan Phone: 541-484-9167 At 12:30 pm on December 5th, local citizens concerned about the global climate crisis will gather at the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce, 1401 Willamette, to give them an award. The Golden Ostrich trophy will be presented to the Eugene Chamber because of their support for the US Chamber of Commerce and its blockade of progress on addressing The Climate Crisis. The weather on Dec 5th is supposed to be unusually cold, ironically. We will protest what ever the weather.
