If there’s one thing Trump’s election has done, it’s get the people of Eugene some exercise — both by taking to the streets and by exercising their free speech rights. Last week’s Science March drew an estimated 2,000 people downtown and now this Saturday it’s the Climate March or really a convergence — a rally and a march: the Rally for a Climate of Safety in Eugene is being held in conjunction with the People’s Climate March in DC, and that rally will be joined by marchers from the University of Oregon Youth Contingent. The UO youths’ mission statement says, “We intend to demand action from the powers that be, in the city, the university and beyond. The world can’t wait any longer. Droughts, natural disasters, refugee crises, and famines have already begun.” The students say, “We march at 12:30, no dilly-dallying or lolly-gagging! (Dawdling is also frowned upon.)” Local Climate Rally organizers Deb McGee and Patty Hine call upon participants to “wear your colors, bring your signs, participate in this youth-led event, with hundreds of sister People’s Climate Marches across the country. A few greedy bullies are poisoning our political climate and Earth’s climate, and it’s time to stop them!” Go to world.350.org/eugene and click on the events in the sidebar to learn songs and dances for the march and other organizing details. Rally for a Climate of Safety in Eugene is 1 pm, Saturday, April 29, at the Wayne Morse Federal Courthouse, 405 E. 8th Avenue. UO students will meet at noon at the UO EMU to march to the rally.
