[Occupymendocino] Free Workshops on Measure "S"

[Linda Jupiter]

FREE WORKSHOPS on MEASURE ʻSʼ
A COMMUNITY BILL OF RIGHTS ORDINANCE
THAT BANS FRACKING IN MENDOCINO COUNTY

Conversation-based workshops to explore this Ordinance, which is on the November ballot, have been scheduled, for 2-3 hours each,
during October in Westport, Fort Bragg, Willits and Ukiah.

They provide an opportunity for people to work and learn together.

These conversations will enable people to have a more nuanced
understanding of the Ordinance, of Community Rights, and will
provide good quality information for coping with the controversies
that will arise toward the time of the election when advertising
against the Ordinance is likely to swamp the air waves and tilt
public opinion away from rational consideration of the issues.

The workshop structure raises questions like: What exactly does
the Ordinance contain? How will it impact people personally? What
are Community Rights? What consequences might occur if the
Ordinance passes? Who decides that fracking can happen in
Mendocino if the Ordinance does not pass?

Participants will be provided with a hard copy of the Ordinance text
accompanied by illustrative diagrams designed to aid understanding,
remembering and sharing with others.

The workshop has been designed, and will be presented by Willow
Rain. Her background is in teaching and group facilitation. She has
studied Community Rights issues for several years and has
attended the formal training about Community Rights that is
provided by the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund
(CELDF.org).
