For those of you not aware, Cascadia is the unique coastal-mountain bioregion between San francisco and the Alaskan panhandle in which the dominant culture is one of respect and honor for the environment and a strong tradition of democracy and social justice. The borders of Cascadia vary, but by some estimates stretch from 42° to 60° north latitude. It's western border consists of the Pacific Coast and a portion of the American state of Alaska. On the east, it borders the American states of Idaho and the Canadian province of Alberta. Cascadia is divided into three prefectures: British Columbia, Oregon and Washington.

To raise awareness of the bio-region, the Cascadian Independence Project has just come out with a batch of 'Free Cascadia' bumperstickers. Orders of up to 5 bumper stickers over the internet are going to be free or by donation. So if you're interested in the concept of Cascadia, just send an address to cascadianow@gmail.com, and we can have them in the mail in the next couple of days.

If you would like to see a picture of them you can go to www.cascadianow.org/mediastickers.html

For those who have not previously heard of us, the Cascadian Independence Project is a grass-roots political movement dedicated to building awareness and support for local democracy, global community, and the freedom and eventual independence of Washington, Oregon and British Columbia.

The CIP is also looking for members to form CIP chapters in their communities, schools or cities. If you're interested and would like to volunteer or form your own chapter, please email us at cascadianow@gmail.com!
