Big Decisions, Unexpected Lessons, and Lawsuits for Oregon’s Attorney General
Presented by Oregon Attorney General, Dan Rayfield

How is it to start a job by suing the federal government? Oregon’s Attorney General Dan Rayfield tells what is meant to hit the ground running as he was sworn into office 12/31/24 – pushing back on executive orders from the Trump administration & teaming up on more than 12 multi-state lawsuits. Also handling the “regular duties” at OR Department of Justice, like consumer protection, public safety and child support. It’s a crash course in law, leadership & keeping your inbox (mostly) under control.

Textiles for Troubled Times
Presented by Jane Pearlmutter, Professor Emerita, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and textile artist

From the 11th century Bayeux Tapestry, through Hmong and South African story-cloths, to the present-day Tiny Pricks Project, stitchers have picked up their needles to reframe their stories and give us different perspectives on events. With examples from art history and from her own personal practice, Pearlmutter will discuss the power of stitch to redefine how we see -and often heal- ourselves.
