Oregon Water Justice Framework: Community-Driven Principles and Priorities to Advance Water Justice

26 pagesSince Oregon’s founding, water resource decisions have created wealth for some and disparities for others — starting with broken treaties between the US government and sovereign tribal nations to exclusionary practices that relegated Black communities to areas prone to flooding or without access to potable water. There are workspaces and housing without proper access to water and sanitation that disproportionately impact low-income, rural, and migrant households. The cost of much-needed infrastructure upgrades is passed down through water bills, hitting customers struggling to cover basic expenses. And despite interest and desire, community members can’t easily access decision-making processes that dictate how we care for and sustain water for generations to come

The UO Puerto Rico Project: Hurricane Maria and its Aftermath

Archived websiteThe UO Puerto Rico Project: Hurricane Maria and its Aftermath started as a twelve-month long collaborative endeavor with students in the Ethnic Studies course “Race, Ethics, Justice” taught in Fall 2017 at University of Oregon. This project was inspired by students’ desire to intervene in the public debates about Puerto Ricans’ lack of access to basic resources in the aftermath of Hurricane María. Student teams fundraised to send a delegation to Puerto Rico to deliver donations and document stories in Caguas, Bayamón, Morovis, Utuado, Mayagüez, Santurce and Isla de Cabra. They produced educational resources and stories to share through this website with the general public, teachers, and professor. We humbly hope that these are conversation starters that will inspire others to create their own archives and document their own stories across generations.University of Oregon Ethnic Studies; Associated Students of the University of Oregon; United Academics; University of Oregon College of Arts and Sciences; MECHA; University of Oregon Center for Latin@ and Latin American Studies; University of Oregon Latin American Studies; Marta Maldonado; Dominican Delights; Sherri Colón; James Padilioni; Catalina de Onís; Steven Strain; Kelley L.

Oregon Water Futures Project Report: 2020-21 Community Engagement

106 pagesThe Oregon Water Futures Project is a collaboration between the University of Oregon, water and environmental justice interests, Indigenous peoples, communities of color, and low-income communities. Through a water justice lens, we aim to impact how the future of water in Oregon is imagined through storytelling, capacity building, relationship building, policymaking, and community-centered advocacy at the state and local level. In 2020, project partners co-conceptualized and facilitated a series of conversations with Native, Indigenous Latin American, Latinx, Black, Southeast Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, Arab, and Somali communities, including webinars on Oregon water systems, phone interviews, and virtual online gatherings. These conversations lifted up culturally specific ways of interacting with drinking water and bodies of water; concerns around water quality and cost; resiliency in the face of challenges to access water resources essential for physical, emotional, and spiritual health; and a desire for water resource education and to be better equipped to advocate for water resources
