Shirley Morgan, a grassroots community mobilizer from Oregon, will take you on a journey to help you discover the windows of opportunity in your life as she shares her personal story of how she has made a difference in local communities around the nation. A marketing and advertising consultant by day, Ms. Morgan gathered business, civic, and faith leaders—and her neighbors. Together, they reached the bold conclusion that with some help from law enforcement, they could drive off the drug dealers and meth cookers in their midst.
Ms. Morgan is also the founder for the Oregonian’s Against Legalization of Marijuana, a grassroots community group that was successful in November of 2004 and 2010 in Oregon defeating measures that would have required local government agencies to open pot dispensaries, and then again in November of 2012 defeating a measure that would have legalized marijuana.
