The very first of Vertical Generation's monthly Movement Events took place in September at the Seattle Bouldering Project with a group of fourteen 6th-12th graders from Mary’s Place, a homeless shelter for women and children.
This Month in Cascadian History- October
Cascadian Agriculture Culture: Farm Visits, Farmer Interviews, and an Educational Video
When thinking of the lifestyle cultures that we share as part of the Cascadia community, agriculture culture is definitely one of the aspects that every Cascadian should be aware of if not a part of. With features like advantageous geographic features, weather conditions, and residents deeply invested in buying local, the Cascadia bioregion is an obviously place for an agriculture culture to develop.

Faces of Cascadia: Shilo Jama on bringing awareness and love to the drug user community
The People's Harm Reduction Alliance (PHRA) helps drug users in the U-district and locations around Cascadia avoid HIV, STDs, and Hepatitis-C by providing clean needles, straws, medical support and love for those in need. The PHRA strives to enrich and expand its community by encouraging awareness of drug users and homelessness.
