STOP JORDAN COVE: Postcard Project
Middle school students in the Portland Public Schools created multi-media collages in an effort to convince Governor Brown to Stop Jordan Cove. Students use monoprinting, stencils, oil pastels, markers, and watercolors to create their beautiful creative action postcards!
Jordan Cove was a proposal from a Canadian company (Pembina) to transport gas fracked mostly from the Colorado Rockies to be exported to Asian markets. It included 229-miles of new pipeline across Southern Oregon, which would have been connected to a new export facility on the coast in Coos Bay, OR. The pipeline and export terminal would have crossed the traditional territories of 14 federally recognized Tribal Nations (the Klamath Tribes, the Yurok Tribe, the Karuk Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and the Tolowa Dee-Ni Nation) who all declared strong opposition to the proposed project.
Through over a decade of grassroots organizing, incredible people power, and creative resistance (like this project) Jordan Cove will NOT be built in Oregon! From the social pressure of caring communities, the state rejected key permits for the project, thus ensuring that what would have been Oregon’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, will never be built!
