Community Rights Lane County, Freedom from Aerial Herbicides Alliance, and Our Community, Our Rights will have a table at Bohemia Mining Days next weekend, and we need volunteers to help staff the table and to collect signatures for our initiatives.
We're working hard to qualify our ban on the aerial spraying of herbicides in Lane County, as well as our new initiative to protect our right to local community self-government. This new initiative says that the state shouldn't preempt our right to draft and pass local laws that protect our health, safety, and welfare, as the state has done by preventing local laws on GMO agriculture and harmful forestry practices like aerial spraying.
