The tragedy of the commons occurs
when individuals neglect the well-being
of society in the pursuit of personal gain.
There has been a constant expropriation of
land, labor and resources from indigenous
peoples and the “lower classes.” Our
common air, water and soil have been
fouled to the benefi t of private corporations
and individuals. Why is it that everything’s
value depends on what kind of profi ts can
be extracted from it?
Adding insult to injury, the developers
want to deprive the Eugene community of
its common tax base by using the MUPTE
to help them steal the square. Development
will happen anyway; there’s no need for
corporate welfare to encourage it.
The developers say the activities that
take place at Kesey Square can take place
now where City Hall was. Was tearing
down City Hall with its still usable skeleton
part of the plan for taking the square?
It’s time to take back the idea of the
commons and take a stand against the
developers and their political lackeys.
Kesey Square is a line in the sand that
cannot be crossed. Never shall we
surrender any more of the commons to
these despoilers of the earth.
Let’s call it what it is, a naked grab of
the commons with the voiceless “travelers”
used as a scapegoat.

CIVIL RIGHTS IN JEOPARDY
The U.S. has always been torn between
the visionary people power of our Declaration
of Independence and the gritty reality of
a slavery-based corporatist state waging
relentless war around the world.
Many are aware of the 2010 Citizens
United decision by the Supreme Court
and the resulting fl ood of corporate
money in politics. Fewer perhaps have
considered the connections between
Citizens United and other Supreme Court
decisions, which are rolling back the civil
rights gains of the 1960s.
With Peg Morton’s passing, we're
challenged to dig deeper into our daily
realities to understand how we can fulfi ll
the vision she articulated so well for us.
To mark MLK Day, We the People-
Eugene is joining with the NAACP to
present a forum called “Race, Police, the
Supreme Court and Democracy” at 7 pm
Wednesday, Jan. 20, in Room 110 of the
UO Law School. State Rep. Lew Frederick,
sponsor of the successful anti-profi ling
bill passed in the 2015 Oregon legislative
session, will join Eugene NAACP President
Eric Richardson and psychologist Bob
Doppelt in a conversation facilitated by
Evangelina Sundgrenz. With this event,
We the People-Eugene hopes to stimulate
an ongoing series of public conversations
linking our judiciary, economics, civil
rights and democracy.
