Episode Two: Reclaiming the Narrative

Deschutes Estuary Restoration Team
Ever wonder what microscopic organisms you’re swimming with? Every week, biologists track plankton communities and screen for harmful algal blooms (HABs). The data is submitted to NOAA’s SoundToxins program, to help protect human health and economic losses to fisheries. During this kayak activity, we will collect water quality data and plankton samples that will be analyzed onshore using microscopes.

Glen Anderson Parallax Perspectives
“Nonviolent National Defense — A Practical Way to Be More Secure”
Mondays at 1:30 pm, Wednesdays at 5:00 pm, Thursdays at 9:00 pm on Channel 22
Instead of military violence, we could defend our nation better through carefully planned strategies of nonviolent resistance. Besides eliminating the danger of nuclear war, a nonviolent national defense would also provide better security without all of the downsides that violent militarism causes.

Thank you from The Rachel Corrie Foundation
We are delighted to report that 100% of our March 16th donations benefitting the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme helped raise $10,000 for GCMHP, an organization guided by the principles of justice and human rights and provides inclusive, integrated, and specialized community mental health services in Gaza. Enormous thanks to all who contributed! In doing so, you honored Omar As’ad, Hajj Suleiman, and Rachel Corrie, in whose memories the gift is given.
