Eugene’s Threadbare Print House is hosting its third annual Womxn’s March prep party on Jan. 12 to “to help the community gear up for the third annual Women’s March Jan. 19.”
In a press release the local business invites the community to its printing party to help women and advocates “smash the patriarchy.
The party will feature free T-shirt printing, free tattoos from Northwest Tattoo and free beverages. Your new T-shirt of tattoo will get you discounts at DaNang Vietnamese Eatery, Oregon Wine Lab, The Wheel Apizza, Wildcraft Cider Works, and Elegant Elephant Baking Co., Threadbare says.
Threadbare is known for its “Fiercely Feminist” shirts created for previous marches.
Amy Baker, owner of Threadbare, says in a statement: “This event started as a grassroots movement on the day of the last presidential inauguration. We offered to print ‘Fiercely Feminist’ for anyone that would bring us a shirt. The response was overwhelming. The next day, the streets of Eugene were filled with the slogan for the Women’s March.”
She continues, “As a small, women-run print shop we were grateful to contribute in a meaningful way. We continue today to offer this event to community members who want to come together and celebrate feminism, diversity, and inclusiveness.”
You can bring your own light colored cotton or cotton blend T-shirt for printing or buy one onsite. Donations will be accepted for Planned Parenthood and Oregon Supported Living Program (OSLP), a nonprofit that empowers adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. OSLP will also host a sign-making at its Lincoln Gallery down the block (309 W. 4th Avenue, Suite 100), the release says.
The print party is 3-9 pm Saturday, Jan. 12 at 445 Lincoln Street (just down the street from EW, which, full disclosure, prints its Local & Vocal T-shirts at Threadbare).
A Note From the Publisher
Dear Readers,
The last two years have been some of the hardest in Eugene Weekly’s 43 years. There were moments when keeping the paper alive felt uncertain. And yet, here we are — still publishing, still investigating, still showing up every week.
That’s because of you!
Not just because of financial support (though that matters enormously), but because of the emails, notes, conversations, encouragement and ideas you shared along the way. You reminded us why this paper exists and who it’s for.
Listening to readers has always been at the heart of Eugene Weekly. This year, that meant launching our popular weekly Activist Alert column, after many of you told us there was no single, reliable place to find information about rallies, meetings and ways to get involved. You asked. We responded.
We’ve also continued to deepen the coverage that sets Eugene Weekly apart, including our in-depth reporting on local real estate development through Bricks & Mortar — digging into what’s being built, who’s behind it and how those decisions shape our community.
And, of course, we’ve continued to bring you the stories and features many of you depend on: investigations and local government reporting, arts and culture coverage, sudoku and crossword puzzles, Savage Love, and our extensive community events calendar. We feature award-winning stories by University of Oregon student reporters getting real world journalism experience. All free. In print and online.
None of this happens by accident. It happens because readers step up and say: this matters.
As we head into a new year, please consider supporting Eugene Weekly if you’re able. Every dollar helps keep us digging, questioning, celebrating — and yes, occasionally annoying exactly the right people. We consider that a public service.
Thank you for standing with us!

P.S. If you’d like to talk about supporting EW, I’d love to hear from you!
