Freedom of thought.
Freedom of speech.
Some rely on lies and some yell
impeach.
The gulf in between has been filled with hate.
How did it become so hard to make this nation great?
Racism, false facts and greed.
Those who want more ignoring those in need.
I hope I never rise me up just to bring another down …
For no matter who we are … our feet all meet the ground.
I hope I walk lightly and never understand why you would demean another instead of holding out a hand …

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
