People's March, Eugene, Oregon

Hello all,

If you are here you know about our upcoming march in January. As things begin to become more concrete, we are actively working to expand our resources.

We are currently reaching out to KEZI 9, KDUK, and the Register Guard for ad space as well as local news announcements through as many broadcasting routes as we can. As hard as we work to have our voices heard, it is no small feat. We are asking for the help of those who are wanting and able to make this possible. Currently as we wait to hear back form KDUK and KEZI, we only have advertising price estimates for the Register Guard, which is already putting us at $92.32 alone.

For those of you who are still reading, my name is Sila and I am a mother of two. I grew up in a low-income single parent household where my grandma raised myself and two of my younger siblings. I grew up in a home that believed that every human's life was just as valuable and important as the next and that people deserved to live a life where they were treated as such. With the recent election results, it has become painfully clear that not all of us feel that same way. I chose to host this march as I am not able to be in Washington D.C. like I had hoped. But protecting and standing for our rights will always matter, and it starts at home. I am not doing this for any reward, or recognition, outside of elected officials recognizing that the power does still and always has, been in the hands of the people. The masses. I am walking beside you in solidarity. Together, we will be the change.

We are never expecting, only hoping. What truly moves this is your willingness to show up and peacefully protest for what are our inalienable rights. No matter where you come from or what your story is, you have a place here.

*Please note: all funds that are remaining after any ad space, water, and signage is acquired will be directly donated to Planned Parenthood of SW Oregon. Proof of donation will be emailed to everyone who donated as a sign that we lived up to our promise, as well as a personal thank you from us for your help.
