Besides the March for Science next Saturday, April 22, there are many other important events taking place across the Mid-Willamette Valley. A few of these events are listed below. Please attend an event, pitch in and join an organization.
March for Science
11:00 AM
State Capitol
Oregon State Women's Center, 1700 SW Pioneer Place, Corvallis
Brave discussions surrounding rape culture, how it shows itself through media and society and an analysis of how we uphold it. Rape culture is pervasive but it is also important to take actions to dismantle it daily and imagine what a world without rape culture would look like.

Thursday, Apr. 20, 6pm - 8pm: The Frontline is Everywhere: NoDAPL Resisting Grand Juries (Eugene)
2520 Harris St, Eugene, OR
The Frontlines are everywhere, from pipelines to courtrooms to prisons, building strong movement defense.
As extraction becomes the norm and the government ramps up its repression against those who stand in resistance, this workshop holds valuable information for those who struggle for Indigenous sovereignty, earth liberation and a future without oppression.
This two-hour workshop is open to all who have participated in the movement at Standing Rock; those who have supported the efforts on the ground from their homes and territories elsewhere; as well as all those who wish to continue fighting on the many frontlines that continue emerging across Turtle Island.
Hosted by The Civil Liberties Defense Center (cldc.org), Eugene.
