BIWOC Rising Eugene, OR: Territorial intervention, a rapist in my path


February 14, 2022

WELCOME DEAR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS
**YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRESS UP OR PARTICIPATE!**
**BEING A WITNESS (silent or not, your choice) IS JUST AS POWERFUL!!**
Thank you for your interest in our February 14th event. We're so excited to share this special Space in Time WE have created for YOU: a moment germinating from the seeds of ancestral tenacity, wisdom, and excellence.
We Organizer/Survivors grew and harvested healing medicine from those seeds, but not without the sacred water of Cathartic Tears until our buckets were empty. We were showered by the Love poured on us by our chosen and biological families, the kindness of strangers, and the loving smile of Great Spirit through every ladybug and sunrise on a daily, and cried Cathartic Tears of Joy until our buckets were empty once more.
We've brought: MUSIC. DANCE. CHANTS. QUOTES. ART DISPLAYS. SIGNS. BLANK CANVASES. PAINT AND PAINTBRUSHES. HOT FOOD AND TEA. TRANSLUCENT BLINDFOLDS. SKI MASKS PAINTED RED WITH HENNA AND BERRIES. MEGAPHONES AND QUOTES BY REVOLUTIONARY WOMEN AND PEOPLES SPEAKING AGAINST GENDER AND RACE VIOLENCE.
We've brought our hearts, our songs, our prayers, our artwork, our pain, our joy, our ceremonies, our magic... and our empty buckets to fill with Cathartic Tears of Solidarity, Sorority, and Love.
Will you bring your buckets and anything you might feel inclined to share?
