fter more than a decade, the Turtle Island Bioregional Congress (TIBC) is returning, this time to the Cascadia Bioregion, on the ancestral lands of the S’Klallam and Coast Salish Peoples near Port Townsend, Washington. From September 14–20, 2026, hundreds of organizers, educators, artists, and ecological stewards will gather for TIBC11, a living experiment in bioregional self-governance, culture, and renewal.

On October 18, 2025, nearly 7 million people across the world stood up with a single message: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. From small towns to global capitals, from high schoolers to elders, a movement rooted in love, resistance, and collective memory swept the streets of more than 2,700 cities in one of the largest single-day protests in U.S. history.

The Cascadia Department of Bioregion is honored to participate in this year’s Cascadia Innovation Corridor Conference, a cross-border gathering that brings together business leaders, policymakers, and visionaries from across Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. As we step into a future shaped by bold innovation, the Department is proud to advocate for a bioregional approach to regeneration, infrastructure, and identity within this growing megaregion.
