Who Are These People and What Do They Want?new
Occupy Eugene, like Occupy Portland and countless protests across the country, is ruled by consensus. The diversity of people and opinions of the 99 percent at Occupy Eugene and at Occupations across the country are the movement’s strength. EW talked to Occupiers, business people and politicians to find out just who the Occupy movement is and what they want. Where is this energy going to go? Can the 99 percent change the nation?

DeFazio Does Itnew
The fiery Oregon congressman's Occupy Wall Street-inspired diatribe on the economy and the financial bailout was vintage Peter DeFazio. In this time of political confusion that pits Tea Partiers against the Democrats and the Dems against themselves, Oregon’s longtime 4th District representative takes great pleasure in cutting through the political confusion.

Death Metal: Uranium Mining May Start in Oregonnew
Like gold mining, uranium mining falls under the aegis of the 1872 General Mining Law that considers hardrock mining the highest and best use of the public’s land. When it comes to the General Mining Law the issue is usually not whether there will be a mine, but how bad the mine will be.

Gold Rush: The Invasion of the Nugget Suckersnew
Gold can be volatile, in investments or in the environment. Compared to other Western states like Idaho and California, “on the whole Oregon is not very well endowed,” when it comes to gold, UO geology professor Mark Reed says. But thanks to the skyrocketing price of gold — analysts predict an ounce of gold will sell for more than $2,000 before the end of the year — there’s a gold rush for Oregon’s public lands and pristine rivers.

Protest Rules: Against Big Oil in Montananew
The last night of the Earth First! 2011 Round River Rendezvous was one of the quietest nights of the almost weeklong gathering. The environmental activists slept at their campsites in the Lolo National Forest, awaiting a 5 am wake-up call for an action against Big Oil that would use chants, signs and “sleeping dragons.” After days of workshops and training sessions, participants knew the action would target the tar sands route and oil pipelines; they knew their legal rights and they knew how to practice civil disobedience and direct action as safely and ethically as possible.
