COMMUNITY GROUP UPDATES
Astoria Community Group (CG)
Monica Pearson, Sue Zerangue, Carolyn Eady, Carol Newman, Joan Herman, and Renee Rowe led the Earth Day Celebration of Science outside the Astoria Post Office on April 22.
Alison Coffinberger, Jackie Nichols, Monica Pearson,, Nancy Montgomery, Sigrid Wood, Silke Ruschmann, and Tiffiny Mitchell handed out “I Agree” and “I Disagree” signs and the new INCO info cards to attendees at Representative Bonamici’s Town Hall on April 15 in Warrenton.
The Expand the Base Outcome Team is challenging everyone to bring in 30 people under 30 years old into Indivisible or some other activist/progressive organization. They challenge each person in INCO Astoria to bring someone under 30 to the next meeting.
Cannon Beach Community Group (CG)
The Cannon Beach and Manzanita Indivisible groups have joined forces. They are planning a new name that is more inclusive (like Indivisible Upper Left Coast - or something - suggestions welcome!) Ann Fontaine puts together a weekly newsletter for the CG.
The EPA, Paris agreement, coastal environment and the slashing of funding in the President's budget were the focus of the CG’s table at the April 22 street fair at the 12 Days of Earth Day in Cannon Beach.
Seaside/Gearhart Community Group (CG)
The CG has been planning their Save Our Beaches Climate Change Awareness Campaign for Climate Day, April 29. Meet at the Turnaround on the Prom at the west end of Broadway in Seaside - 3 - 5 pm. Group members challenged themselves with making at least one call a week and bringing at least one new person to the May 11 meeting.
Warrenton Community Group (CG)
Meridee Faber, Carmen Hammersmith, Kathi Merritt, McLaren Innes, and others were ready for hordes of new voters at the Warrenton voter registration drive at Representative Bonamici’s Town Hall on April 15 at Warrenton High School. They were a colorful and welcoming presence, as was a banner made by Carolyn Vena. Members decided to postpone their planned Immigrant Event.
Washington Peninsula Community Group (CG)
Eighty peninsula and area citizens heard nine speakers express views on important topics like education, law enforcement, budget restraints, immigration, social justice, infrastructure issues and more. Special kudos to Jill, Michele, Carole and Karen for providing supporting documents, props, and a six-foot plywood likeness of Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler. And thanks to Fred Carter for providing pre-program music for the gathering. It was our first effort to assemble concerned citizens in a town-hall format. Perhaps we can create another town hall gathering a few months from now.
