FILM “The Peyote Road,” 11am- 1pm, Center for Sacred Scienc- es, 5440 Saratoga St. FREE. Ninety people showed up for the February meeting of the new South Willamette Valley Chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) and interest is growing. NOW Chapter President Laurie Notaro says the previous NOW in the area went defunct some years ago, but as of now, there’s a new NOW in town. NOW bills itself as the “largest organization of feminist grassroots activists in the United States,” and Notaro says the local chapter’s first meeting in January drew 50 people simply through word of mouth and a Facebook event. Notaro, a New York Times bestselling author, says she woke up day after the election and “I thought the only thing worse than Trump winning would be people sitting home and doing nothing about everything that was now in danger. I looked for our local NOW chapter and couldn’t find it.” Five other Eugene women had the same idea and the new NOW chapter was born. Notaro says the group has been tabling at the recent town halls with local congressmen and is working with the UO Women’s Center on its annual Take Back the Night event, April 26, as well as working with Planned Parenthood and Ceasefire Oregon. But right now, she says, the focus is on diversity. “It’s really important in a place like Eugene where diversity isn’t that great to reach out to members and women all over the economic stratosphere,” Notaro says, and to reach out to people of all colors, ethnicities, genders and sexual identities. “We don’t speak just for white Eugene,” she says, “we want to speak for Eugene as a community.” The South Willamette Valley Chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) holds its third meeting 5:30 pm, Monday, March 6 at the Eugene Garden Club, 1645 High Street.
