May 2, 2023 – May 4, 2023Thank you for joining the UO Student Sustainability Center, the Coalition Against Environmental Racism, and our other co-sponsors for Abundance: challenging narratives of scarcity around environmental crises through shared joy, resources, and community. This series of events, happening across multiple days, will feature educational talks, workshops, and volunteer opportunities for students and other UO community members to engage with the idea of abundance. The climate crises and other intersecting issues, such as environmental racism, can make us feel disconnected and hopeless. We believe that one of the most corrective actions we can take in this work is to challenge that narrative. We are all that we need, and we have everything we need! Join us as we explore the abundance of our very own community, and beyond!

Eugene Fights Back: New friend gathering
Eugene Fights Back: New friend gathering
All day
May 14, 2023
We are beginning a process of creating a twice-monthly container for trans/queer anarchist meet-ups to grow affinity, learn from each other, and build a stronger resistance network. The idea is a freeform structure that meets people where they are at, while encouraging principled direct action and support to fluidly help with whatever situation is shared with us by consenting individuals. We decided it would be symbolic to do it on Mother's Day to give a lot of us with no families a place to go and be in community. It also feels important to bring us together in social settings not run by nonprofits, political parties, businesses, and even other 'LGBT' activist/ anarchist settings where a majority have limited knowledge of trans/queer experiences. Let alone our history of struggle against all the systems oppressing us nor the identity to share the trauma of constant attacks in this political moment.
We encourage any trans/ queer person with an interest in anarchism to attend, but due to the nature of violence and constant political co-optation of spaces: we'd like to vet the intentions of people and ask those in attendance to not share location/ timing information publicly. Once vetted, people are welcome to just vouch for a friend to bring along. This is a space for rad friendship, networking, mutual aid, and direct action. We ask electoral/state politics, assimilationist strategists, and peace police go elsewhere.
This is a call for all who wish to continue the work of our trans-cestors in their fight for liberation to attend.
For further information, please email: bashbackeugene@protonmail.com
Please wear a mask if coming in-person (n95s will be available to those who don't).
We also have the capability to have an online option, as needed.

May 23, 2023Join us for a thought-provoking and informative lecture series on the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous People. This event is aimed at educating our community about this issue, raising awareness, and promoting action towards justice and change.
The lecture series will feature prominent speakers, including community leaders, advocates, and experts in the field, who will share their insights and experiences on the topic. Through these lectures, we aim to shed light on the devastating effects of this crisis on Indigenous communities and to explore the root causes behind it.
The series will cover various aspects of the issue, including the historical and cultural context, the impact of colonization and systemic racism, the challenges faced by Indigenous people, and the importance of community action and advocacy. The lectures will also highlight the stories of missing and murdered Indigenous people and their families, and honor their lives and memories.
Throughout the series, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in dialogue and discussion with the speakers, ask questions, and share their own perspectives and experiences. We hope that this event will inspire and empower our community to take action towards justice and healing for Indigenous people and their families.Join us for this important and impactful event, and let’s work together to remember our sisters and demand change for a better future.
