Cascadian Regionalism

Cascadian Regionalism is a cultural and political movement that emphasizes the unique identity, environment, and interests of the Cascadia region, which includes parts of the Pacific Northwest in the U.S. (like Oregon and Washington) and British Columbia in Canada. Proponents seek greater autonomy for this region, advocating for environmental sustainability, Indigenous rights, and local governance. They often envision a bioregional approach that respects the natural landscape and promotes a shared sense of community, distinguishing it from national politics. The movement also celebrates the region's diverse cultures and ecosystems, fostering a sense of belonging among residents.
