NEST is an all-volunteer group of self-organizing, tree-climbing humans. Each summer, NEST volunteers take on a role as canopy surveyors, who utilize the Northwest Forest Plan’s “Survey and Manage” laws to protect ancient forests threatened by logging.NEST formed out of the Fall Creek tree-sit in 1999, when several observant forest defenders noticed USFS surveyors walking transect lines and climbing trees. These contact surveyors were seeking the treetop nests of red tree voles. Unfortunately, agencies like the USFS and BLM use a very abstract survey protocol, which does not fully account for tree vole habitat. It is not ideal for finding nests in all situations, so NEST volunteer surveyors developed their own protocol in order to more accurately document red tree vole populations.

We work to defend our neighbors from foreclosure and homelessness by halting evictions through public pressure and mass mobilization, while developing leadership and building consciousness among all members of the community. We seek to unite homeowners, tenants, and people experiencing homelessness to fight for safe and equitable housing as a human right through policy and system change.

The Olneyville Neighborhood Association began informally in the 1990s in the basement of a local church, as a forum for neighbors in one of Rhode Island's most marginalized neighborhoods to discuss their day-to-day conditions. Over time, ONA's leaders came to realize that external forces were driving displacement through the elimination of local jobs, raising housing and rent prices, and the creation of a cultural war against the immigrants and people of color who make up the vast majority of Olneyville's population. By 2005, these leaders had recruited others and clarified ONA's mission, vision, and organizing methods. While maintaining its base in Olneyville, the organization has relaxed its geographic boundaries to include people no matter what neighborhood they live in.ONA believes that people of color, immigrants and those families that live in poverty need to be at the forefront of any effort to change the oppressive conditions that affect their lives. As members of ONA, they form the backbone of the organization, taking leadership in improving their lives through collective action -- by organizing to create change. They build the organization by reaching out to their neighbors, deepen their consciousness through political education, and decide what strategies and tactics the organization uses in its organizing and political goals.
