Upcoming Programs
Intro to the Current State of Surgery
From FH. An introduction and review of Robotic Assisted Surgery. Dr. Benjamin Feeney attended the U.S. Air Force Academy (BS), then the University of Wisconsin (MD) and trained in General Surgery at OHSU. He was active duty with the U.S. Air Force for 9 years, including overseas deployments, and now practices surgery in Portland.
View DetailsDefending Democracy with Courage and Joy
Over Zoom. How do ordinary people protect democracy among faltering institutions and political intimidation? Pamela Campos-Palma draws on experience as a political strategist and USAF intelligence analyst to examine how communities prepared to prevent violence, counter intimidation, and protect participation when she helped lead the 2020 Election Defenders coalition, and will explore why democracy’s most important guardrails are ultimately people—how trust, preparation, moral courage, celebration, and disciplined joy can interrupt fear and create the conditions for collective action and civic victory. She offers an invitation to reconsider what each of us can do to make American democracy more resilient, humane, and worth defending. (First Sundays start with 1/2 hour of music, offer childcare, and may run until noon.)
