Conversation Project
programs feature topics such
as food ethics, surveillance
in America, and the future of
racial diversity in Oregon
Communities

the
state have year-round access to free

of racial diversity in Oregon. Some of
the programs scheduled between March

agricultural use. We will watch

for counties around the state who
might wish to play a more robust
role in land use negotiations
between neighbors. The group
that sat down to work on this
bill is committed to working
collaboratively on this project and
also helping to frame a statewide
conversation on these issues. The
bill has already passed the Senate,
and I expect it to pass handily in
the House.
