“Community Rights with Michelle Holman”
Season 02, Episode 03

********************************

In this episode, Nicki is joined by Michelle Holman, an activist in the Community Rights movement in Lane County, Oregon.

Michelle Holman has lived in Deadwood, a community in Western Lane County’s Coast Range, for more than 40 years and has been active in the anti-herbicide struggle since the late 1970’s. After many years of her community’s unsuccessful fight to stop government-protected aerial spraying of toxic chemicals by private logging companies, she renounced traditional activism and joined the Community Rights movement. She is a founder of Community Rights Lane County and the Oregon Community Rights Network. She has served on the Mapleton School Board for 35 years, where more than 20 years ago, the school district stopped using toxic chemicals on school grounds.

In this conversation, Nicki and Michelle talk about the Community Rights Movement and the Rights of Nature.

This interview was recorded in May 2023.
