Special events and activities, plus values conversations go here as we CELEBRATE TOGETHER

Community Village 50th Anniversary Action Board Poll

Please share your booth’s or individual 50th year actions with ocfcvcc@gmail.com so they can be added HERE!

For 50 years, Community Village, at its heart, has been a community of activists. We come from different towns, represent different causes, and have different skill sets. Ultimately we are united in our vision and our passion to make this world a better, more peaceful, equitable, and sustainable place.
To honor this legacy on our 50th anniversary, the Community Village will celebrate and harness our collective power by mobilizing visitors to take action for positive change during the Fair. Actions can be diverse and may include: signing up to volunteer, attending a training, writing a comment letter, registering to vote, etc.
Why is this needed?
Right now in America, we are facing unprecedented attacks on our public lands, individual liberties, and our immigrant and LGBTQ+ neighbors. We are at the breaking point of our democracy and experiencing the largest wealth gap in history, all while the climate crisis rages forward. We all yearn for change and we must act collectively to achieve it. Now is the time.
How will your booth drive positive action?
1. Individual booths will decide one cause or action they want to sponsor/recommend, aligned with the booth’s mission and theme
2. Actions for all booths will be combined on a single display board in Community Village
3. Visitors will choose actions they want to support from the menu of options, while learning more about each booth
4. Booth engagement and visibility will be enhanced, mass participation will benefit each cause, and visitors will be empowered to take actions inspired by each booth’s mission

One person per booth (ideally the booth coordinator) should fill out this form by May 15, 2026

Love Goes Here

Community Village is a part of the Oregon Country Fair Family and is dedicated to education, information access, and networking for progressive social change. We create a spiritual center manifesting the Village Vision of love, peace, trust, justice, cooperation, equality, and social service. By believing in dreams, thinking of others, valuing differences, and experimenting with new ideas, we hope to expand our consciousness, growing beyond the Fair into the world at large.

WE AGREE

We agree to not engage in hear-say and to encourage others to not participate in hear-say.
We agree to speak with honor, integrity and respect about each other;
in the event we have constructive criticism to share, we will talk to each other directly,
though using another as a sounding board is OK.
We agree to try to operate from a place of trust that we do not mean each other harm.

OCF CODE OF CONDUCT

We are an association of equals. Each and every member of our community is entitled to respectful and equitable treatment by all other participants. The Guidelines apply whenever and wherever we gather for OCF activities or discussion, in person or online.
The OCF is committed to the principles of
non–violence. Mental, verbal, physical, or sexual abuse will not be tolerated.
We share reverence for the land. Stewardship is everyone’s responsibility. Please help protect the plant and animal life whose space we share and work to extend this practice beyond the OCF and into daily life.
