This sisterhood is being threatened by
the new Trump Republican regime. His
uncontrollable rhetoric has publicly sexu-
alized and ridiculed women’s bodies, de-
clared war on their freedom of choice and
menaced their religious freedom by threat-
ening to register or ban Muslims.
We are seeing reports of women in hi-
jabs being accosted by white males trying
to rip them off their heads and telling them
to go back where they came from.
Let’s stand up for women of all faiths
and beliefs, like true Americans, and pub-
licly protect our right to be free from as-
sault by Trumpster terrorists. If women
with hijabs are going to be targeted, then
let us hide them in a sea of headscarves.
Join in open solidarity of women’s
rights and empowerment, and make the
ubiquitous head scarf the new statement of
the American woman.
HeadScarfNation.com is an open coali-
tion of women whose purpose is to shine
a glaring beacon on societal and political
assertions that obstruct women’s interests
and to light a path for women to navigate
safely and boldly to their own destination.

ALL MEOW, NO CLAWS
Outgoing Mayor Kitty Piercy gave a
speech last month to City Club of Eugene
citing her alleged role in the cancellation of
the West Eugene Porkway and subsequent
“collaborative” that supposedly brought all
sides together.
The Federal Highway Administration
and ODOT chose “No Build” for the WEP
bypass because Section 4(f) of the Trans-
portation Act prohibits federally funded
freeways through parklands such as the
BLM’s West Eugene Wetlands. Details at

org.
The collaborative to which Piercy re-
ferred included some of Piercy's conser-
vative and liberal friends but excluded
west-side neighborhood groups and West
11th businesses. That meant citizens who
opposed a worse version of the WEP
crafted by a couple of the mayor's liberal
friends were not welcome. This group
recommended spending a quarter billion
to widen West 11th, more than double the
EMX cost and more than the $169 million
WEP estimate (only $17 million had been
appropriated).
Piercy also cited her climate law as a
laudable achievement, yet its only financial
requirement is to spend public funds on
carbon credits. The city’s climate analyst
said buying offsets for the planned 10- to
11-lane Beltline Highway widening would
be ridiculous but he didn’t dare say that
in public. Similarly, the city of Las Vegas
claims to be sustainably powered through
credits, yet that desert mirage is probably
