  • Press Releases and Interviews - Conduct press releases, deal with issues or crisis situations around our brand identity, and conduct interviews with journalists and print media.

Mission: To effectively share the story of the Cascadia movement to the outside world, combats misiniformation, and inspires people to get involved, and that documents the amazing supporter culture and archival knowledge of our movement.

Guiding Question: How do we effectively reach out to the 15 million people living here, to our cultural leaders and creators, journalists and the media - and the rest of the world beyond that - to share Cascadia, bioregionalism and our movement - in a way that is positive and inspires them to get involved? If in 2020, 10,000 all of a sudden wanted to get involved - what resources do we need to make that happen?

The Cascadia Department of Public Relations deals with all external facing media. This includes our website, blog feeds, social media, digital resources, handling interviews and reaching out with journalists and the press, training diplomats to be effective communicators, table and talk about Cascadia, and collaborating with other departments to ensure a unified and professional appearance for all Department of Bioregion materials.

Each department and project has a senior leadership team who works to make sure that everyone within the work group has the tools and resources they need to be effective at their goal.
