Rural Communities Still Awaiting Governor Kotek’s Response, OLCV & Center for Food Safety Join Oregon Rural Action’s Request Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has yet to respond to a letter sent last month by Oregon Rural Action (#ORA) and community members affected by the ongoing drinking water contamination crisis in the Lower Umatilla Basin. Despite numerous officials stating that the situation is an emergency, Governor Kotek has thus far failed to declare an emergency or deliver on the response she promised in May 2023. After 34 years of waiting for the State of Oregon to take action, community members with contaminated wells await a response from Governor Kotek. Meanwhile, contamination continues to worsen in the Lower Umatilla Basin, and state agencies’ responses continue to fall short, leaving hundreds of families at risk of exposure. “The silence speaks volumes,” said Kristin Anderson Ostrom, executive director of ORA. “Our rural communities cannot endlessly be put on the back burner while lives and health are at risk, but that’s exactly what happens in environmental justice communities. As we stated in the letter: ‘the political and economic interests of large-scale industrial agriculture cannot continue to undercut the need for urgent action to protect public health.'” The letter asks the Governor to hold state agencies accountable for the poor response to the groundwater contamination emergency and rein in sources of pollution in rural Morrow and Umatilla Counties. A total of 30 organizations from across the state have joined Oregon Rural Action’s letter, including some of Oregon’s most prominent environmental, Latine, health, and environmental justice groups. These include the powerful Oregon League of Conservation Voters and the Center for Food Safety, who added their voices while the community waits.

Cal Poly Initiative for Climate Leadership and Resilience
We're in the news! Cal Poly News released an article about the Sustainable Land Initiative, a collaborative program that aims to dramatically accelerate California's transition to climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices to improve climate resiliency. Read the article: https://lnkd.in/gjH42zjD Here's a sneak peek: "California is the breadbasket of America: with 26 million acres of farmland in the state, crops wind up in grocery stores all over the nation. But climate change is making it harder — and more costly — for farmers to produce quality food consistently. The Sustainable Land Initiative (SLI), a Cal Poly research project that takes an integrated approach to land and resource management, aims to dramatically accelerate California’s transition to climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices. The SLI’s pilot program centers around helping local farms, ranches and forests secure timely funding to adopt climate-conscious techniques that reduce emissions, build climate and economic resiliency and increase overall food production. Experts say the approach is key to meet the state’s aggressive targets for natural carbon sequestration by 2030." SLI is led by the Upper Salinas - Las Tablas Resource Conservation District, cBrain, and the Cal Poly Initiative for Climate Leadership and Resilience. #SustainableLandInitiative #SLI #climatechange #climateresiliency #climatesmartagriculture #CSA #farm #agriculture #agricultureresearch #soilresearch #foodproduction #CalPolyICLR #USLTRCD #cBrain #CalPoly #CalPolyNews
