“Progressive responses: the mission of progressive responses is to educate and mobilize community members to promote peace by building communities that respect human rights and the environment, and which oppose militarism and endless war. We seek to accomplish our mission through community forums, direct action, lobbying, signature ads and other media work, and collaboration with other groups and allies. Truth in recruiting aims to expose and oppose the militarization of youth by countering the misinformation that military recruiters share and to pormote alternatives to military service. We have a presence in every public high school in lane county (and most of the alternative high schools). We do one-on-one outreach to students, have brochures in spanish and english in the career offices, and we educate school staff to make sure they have some basic understandings about recruiting abuses & misinformation.”

“Springfield alliance for equality and respect (safer) is the only grassroots social justice group based in springfield, oregon and its leadership is provided by people who live in springfield. Safer's mission is to promote human rights, respond when abuses of human dignity occur, and urge public institutions to address social justice concerns. Safer is committed to immigrant rights and racial justice, lgbtq rights, and the right to shelter. Safer works with leadership and staff of the public schools for greater safety and equity for all students, staff and families. Safer works with the city of springfield officials to advocate for greater diversity and cultural understanding among city employees and a stronger city role in promoting an inclusive community. We work collaboratively while expecting accountability from public institutions for the welfare and success of a diverse population of people who call springfiled home. Safers's motto is respectful and relentless.”
