Letters to the editor for Friday, April 30: NIMBYs and YIMBYs, gun control and Cece's plight

1KF’s manufactured fight for justice
I appreciated Kimberly O’Brien’s letter (Letters, April 24) calling for the Timber Unity organization to be accurately characterized as the “political influencing, lobbying and money-raising organization that it is.” Timber Unity has no truck for “unity” around credible, evidence-based climate science.
We should also accurately characterize 1000 Friends of Oregon (“1KF”) as the political influencing, lobbying and money-raising organization that it has become. Sadly, this once exemplary, grassroots organization has abandoned its former principle of robust, inclusive citizen involvement as essential to developing sound environmental policy recommendations.
