FRANCIS ETHERINGTON, Conservation Director for Cascadia Wildlands and well known Douglas County environmentalist, will be the guest speaker for the Douglas County Democrats’ monthly meeting on Thursday, February 24th at Chi’s Garden Restaurant, 528 S.E. Stephens Street in Roseburg.
Ms. Etherington’s power point presentation will cover the legislation relating to “fast track permitting” for LNG projects currently being debated in Salem – and what actions can be taken to oppose them. She’ll also give us updates on the three BLM “pilot projects” in Douglas, Jackson and Coos counties.
Joining the Democrats at the top of the agenda for the business meeting will be JODI RUSSEL, an officer with the State Democratic Party’s GUN OWNER’S CAUCUS.
The public is invited to join the group for dinner at 5:00, then the program at 6:00, and the business meeting at 7:00. For more information call the Democratic Party Headquarters at 541-672-8803 during business hours or Party Chair Dean Byers at 541-672-8094
The Women in Black meet in front of the BLM office every Friday from 12:30 to 1:00 to demonstrate for peace against violence. (Attendence is NOT limited to women. Anyone who feels that violence is not a tool of discussion is welcome to attend)
