Women! Stop Nuclear War
Every March women around the world celebrate International Womens
Day. This year in Eugene, some local women hope to celebrate on March 6 at
the Fairgrounds with a large gathering of women focusing on the theme of
disarmament. The plans are sketchy at this writing, but in general the event
will stress women educating one another, singing and playing together, dealing
with fears and the effects of psychic numbing, looking to getting involved in an
on-going way, and feeling the joy of a shared commitment. On Jan 6, there will
be an organizing meeting to plan the activities for this celebration. All women
in Eugene-Springfield, especially those who may never have been politically in
volved, are asked to come forth with their ideas of how to achieve the awe
some task of stopping nuclear war. In this area, there are no experts.
Janet Anderson is one of the organizers of this event. She is seeking a real
cross-section of women at this Jan 6 meeting and will be putting out quite a
large mailing for the event to Oregon Women's Political Caucus and the City
of Eugene's Women's Commission, among others. In addition to getting com
munity women involved, the organization will also be seeking pledges and
funding from individuals.
‘We're stuck in our pre-nuclear thinking," says Larosa, one of the women
volunteering her time to get this celebration together. She spent many years
and much energy trying to create meaningful alternatives to political and social
problems. Disarmament, however, requires that we address the politicians and
the government directly. To do so effectively, we must educate ourselves and
be prepared to look at our lives in a broader persepctive—that of the survival
of the human race, says Larosa.
Janet Anderson concurs. 'To me, the most important objective we have as
organizers is to create an atmosphere for women in which disarmament ac
tivities cay be joyful and life affirming," says Anderson. Come to 1236 Kincaid
at 7:30 on Jan 6 and learn how you can contribute to this most worthy effort.
