SUMMARY:Solution Salon – Helping Children and Families
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered why we spend so much time and money on solving homelessness\, yet we still see so many people outside on our streets? Join SAGE and Path Home’s Executive Director Brandi Tuck for a conversation on the history\, causes\, and effects of homelessness. We’ll examine the root causes of homelessness and explore different populations that experience homelessness including the “invisible homeless” population that may be the most vulnerable group but receives the least amount of attention. You’ll also learn what we can do to end the homelessness crisis once and for all.

SUMMARY:Future Design for a Warming Planet: A Multi-Generational Forum
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multi-generational forum titled Future Design for a Warming Climate. \nThis event will explore long-term decision-making through the lens of Future Design\, a method that incorporates the perspectives of imagined future generations. Participants will reflect on Oregon’s past\, engage with a fictional policy concept—the Resiliency Bond\, inspired by real-world climate initiatives—and evaluate its implications from a future-oriented viewpoint. \nBy simulating the voices of future Oregonians\, we’ll test ideas\, deliberate trade-offs\, and reflect on what kind of legacy we want to leave behind. The forum will conclude with a collaborative discussion on actionable steps toward a more resilient future. \nSAGE is pleased to offer this forum in partnership with Elders Action Network and Future Design Group\, SAGE’s Emerging Leaders Action Board\, and Portland State University’s Student Sustainability Center and Institute on Aging.

SUMMARY:Politics and Possibility: Talking Across Differences
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 4th for a special community conversation about how we can talk—and work—together\, even when we don’t agree. \nOur national and state politics are so polarized that constructive problem-solving is often impossible. This fuels frustration and deepens the sense of division. Too often\, we forget that each of us has the power to shape a different story. This event will focus on how we got here and\, more importantly\, how we can build trust\, listen with respect\, and find common ground. Together\, we’ll explore practical ways to promote civil dialogue and strengthen community relationships. \nPanelists Jack Miller\, Rebecca Tweed\, and Wendy Willis are experienced in civic engagement. They will explore this issue and share their views on the state of political discourse in Oregon and nationwide. They’ll also have suggestions about how to have productive conversations across political lines. \nDoors open at 4:45 p.m. Event begins at 5:00 p.m. \nSpace is limited. \nClick Here to Register.\n\nMeet our Panelists:\n \nRebecca Tweed\nPresident of Tweed Strategies\, Rebecca Tweed is a top political strategist in Oregon and has worked on more than 90 political campaigns for local government\, legislative and statewide candidates\, plus county and statewide ballot measures.
