Women’s day
continued from page 1A
Amidst non-stop musical en
tertainment from the main stage,
attendees could stroll through an
exhibit of area artists, bid in a
silent auction, peruse rows of in
formation tables and craft ven
dors or attend scheduled work
shops that ranged from “Healing
Hate Crimes and Discrimination”*
to “Hot and Sexy Midlife.”
Much of the workshop sched
ule featured discussions of youth
issues. This particular theme was
in part sparked by the blue rib
bon of promise campaign at
Thurston High School.
The primary coordinator for
the event, Kyra Kelly, said bring
ing in community members ac
tive with youth in Eugene to
share stories of hope and encour
agement during panel discus
sions would be a step in a posi
tive direction.
“People like this are part of the
solution,” she said. “We need
each other’s support, too. There’s
incredible strength in women
coming together.”
Brenna Patterson of Students
for Choice said understanding
youth culture is important but so
is getting young people interest
ed in broader goals.
“It’s important because youth
need to get involved with inter
national issues,” she said. “And
this is a great place to meet peo
ple who are doing good work in

our community, and learn from
them.”
Mother Kali’s Bookstore near
campus has hosted scheduled
events for weeks surrounding In
ternational Women’s Day because
a single day, as board president
Lorraine Ironplow said, “is defi
nitely not enough.”
“We want to make sure that
people understand the history of
the day, in its full political ex
pression,” she said.
Ironplow described how Inter
national Women’s Day has repre
sented women’s struggle through
suffrage, labor rights, child care,
marriage laws and how it contin
ues to stand for the issues women
face in the next century.
“Their struggle for a life is not
lost when we remember and
keep working toward our own
goals for the future,” she said.
Kelly echoed this when she
referenced how the event locally
has evolved over the years from a
groundswell of women support
ers and volunteers.
“The more people that come to
the table to help us plan, the
more diversity we see in the
event each year,” she said.
“There are still a lot of issues to
work on, but it’s not going to
change unless we do first.”
