The Hoedads Restoration Cooperative (HRC) was start- ed by Jerry Rust (later a Lane County Commissioner) and John Sundquist. The hoedad is a hand tool that is used to plant bare-root trees on steep slopes. HRC met success in applying the cooperative model to tree planting. The HRC was active throughout the Northwest from 1971 to 1994. Many of their workers had college degrees and were known for environmentalism, feminism and alternative eco- nomics.

These women will stack boxes to symbolize intercept- ing traffickers and to represent a commitment to stand with victims of human trafficking. In football, the phrase “stack the box” is used when the defense puts its players “in the box,” in a rectangular forma- tion, to stop the offensive team’s rush. “Human traffickers run a game on the vulnerable,” said Cynthia Orr of the Methodist Church. “Our goal is to stack the box against them, to inter- cept their game and to box them up for prosecution.” The Super Bowl draws some of the largest numbers of traf- fickers who coerce the vulnera- ble to work in food service, cleaning services, escort serv- ices and as sex workers. This act will serve to raise awareness of the increasing number of people who, not of their own free will, are forced into labor.
