Just in time for Pride, we are so excited for our first ever Cascadia PRIDE Resource kits, and a whole host of new Cascadia gear.

Reporting on Ecotopia: Cross-border environmental media in the Salish Sea & Cascadia

This panel forum opens questions about the evolution of media and news venues in our cross-border region. Featuring a slate of outstanding journalists covering environmental issues in our region, we will explore questions like:

  • How do regional media address transboundary issues, such as the energy economy, political regulation, and climate change policy?

  • What is the role of media producers and consumers in fostering cross-border conversations around the Salish Sea and more broadly throughout Cascadia?

  • What is the future of place-based news to address shared crises and solutions in our shared bioregion?

2021 U.S. Census Redistricting: Exploring Watershed Based Voting Districts

2021 U.S. Census Redistricting: Exploring Watershed Based Voting Districts

Every 10 years, the United States completely erases current voting district borders, and creates new ones using census data that has tracked demographic changes over the past ten years.

How these districts are drawn is incredibly important, and in many states, is used as a tool of disenfranchisement, racism, and reinforcing voter disparities. Ensuring a fair voter redistricting process is one of the most important ways to ensure equity, transparency and accountability in our democratic institutions. This process is currently underway, and voting commissions are being formed to explore the best way to redraw these districts.
