		Time is running out to vote! Drop your ballot off at one of these ballot boxes: www.bentoncountywa.gov/government/elected_officials/auditor/elections/current_election/drop_boxes...If you know someone: a parent, sibling or friend, who doesn’t vote because they have a feeling it doesn’t matter.... Tell them to vote for their kids, to vote for their brother or sister, for their neighbor. It might matter to that other person and we are MUCH stronger when we do things for each other... not for ourselves.  #vote #franklincountywa #bentoncountywa #tricities

		1 BADGER FORUM: Laliik: Sacred Mountain in Bureaucratic Quagmire BADGER FORUM: Laliik: Sacred Mountain in Bureaucratic Quagmire September 1, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM https://badgers.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=722&club_id=392306&emtid=3209205288255 Our iconic Rattlesnake Mountain is known as Laliik to Native Americans, for whom the mountain has been sacred for millennia. The oft repeated and dubious local claim that it's the tallest treeless mountain neglects the true significance of its geology and ecology. Its incorporation into the Hanford Site in 1943 initiated a complex history of federal involvement, culminating in its current and persistent off-limits status. This forum will describe the mountain's history, geology, ecology, and cultural significance and seek to understand perspectives on possible futures for one of the region's treasures.

Professors Jamie Mayerfeld (UW) and Johann Neem (WWU) will explain how Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, and others, based on principles gleaned from the ancient history of the Greeks and Romans, along with contemporary ideas of the Enlightenment, forged an unprecedented synthesis, resulting in a paradigm shift in governance from monarchy to self-determination. It wasn’t easy. In this hybrid program these professors will explain the context, the struggles, and the underlying principles anchored in these two founding documents to help us gain a deeper appreciation of how our country brought forth a new age of liberty and governance, one determined by “We the People….” See more details Indivisible TC - Founder Hour, Thurs Indivisible TC - Founder Hour, Thurs September 24, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM The Zoom link can be found in the most recent Indivisible TC Do Something Email Newsletter.
