| Apr 23 | Tue | Firearms violence is one of Oregon’s major causes of death and injury, annually responsible for nearly 100 deaths in Oregon and over 30,000 deaths nationally. Oregon’s medical community now recognizes this issue presents more than legal and constitutional challenges: it is a major public health threat. How can Oregon respond to this epidemic of firearms violence? Improved access to mental health care? Restricted access to firearms? More police training? And what is Oregon already doing to address this public health issue? Please join our panel of clinicians and public health leaders who will discuss what Oregon has done right, what it has done wrong, and what it can do better to reduce firearms violence in our state Moderator: Dwight Holton, Executive Director, Lines for Life and former U.S. Attorney for Oregon Panelists: Kathleen Carlson, PhD, Associate Professor, Injury Epidemiology and Prevention, OHSU-PSU School of Public Health; Investigator, VA Portland Healthcare System David P Lehrfeld, MD, Medical Director, OHA Emergency Medical Services & Trauma Systems Lisa Reynolds, MD, The Children’s Clinic, Portland; Moms Demand Action; State of Safety Martin Schreiber, MD, Professor of Surgery, Division of Trauma, Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery, OHSU School of Medicine Event Details: Date: Tuesday, April 23rd, 2019 Time: 7:00 am Buffet Breakfast, 7:30am – 9:00am Interactive panel discussion and audience questions Location: Multnomah Athletic Club (1849 SW Salmon St, Portland 97205) Free parking lot adjacent to event venue Registration: Oregon Health Forum website Interested in sponsoring this breakfast forum?

From January to June, when the 2019 Oregon Legislature is in session, many Action Nights will be centered upon what's happening in the Capitol, with opportunities to hear direct reports from our Conservation Director and Lobbyist, and hold our elected officials accountable to the people who got them elected. Action Nights will be all about praxis: we'll be learning and growing our organizing skills, then we'll immediately put our new skills to use around a current issue happening in the session. |

| May 15 | Wed | Despite her rebellion against the music industry, Ani DiFranco became one of the most prolific indie artists — selling over 5.5 million albums and winning numerous awards, including a Grammy. In her new memoir, DiFranco shares the unconventional path that led her to become a music industry and activist trailblazer while maintaining an artistic integrity that has inspired and challenged many.
DiFranco will be joined in conversation by Cari Luna, author of The Revolution of Every Day. In a dialogue based on her life and her memoir No Walls and the Recurring Dream, DiFranco shows the bared soul of an artist who redefined what it means to be a successful musician and how to use a public platform for change. Price includes a copy of DiFranco’s No Walls and the Recurring Dream. Books distributed at event. | |
