• We’re tired of corporate PRIDE! There’s no pride for some without liberation for all. Eugene’s first Pride march is being organized by United FRONT’s Trans Justice Campaign, co-sponsored by the South Willamette Valley’s chapter of NOW–National Organization for Women. The march and celebration is 3 pm, June 25, at the Park Blocks, 8th & Oak downtown Eugene. Organizers say, “We’re focused on an accessible and inclusive event, recognizing the need for safety and accessibility for our whole community. We will rally in the Park Blocks with speakers and march a short route through downtown. We’ll return to the Park Blocks for a family friendly celebration including live music, face painting, kids activities and more.” To get involved, contact transjustice@protonmail.com or find “Queer & Trans Pride March and Celebration” on Facebook.
