CHAPTER SPOTLIGHT!!!
OREGON WAND and Fashion Resistance To Militarism!
A unique fashion show, presented by Oregon WAND and the UO, challenged some pervasive assumptions about militarism in our society. The show uncovered the high costs of militarism in terms of people's lives, emotional well being, environmental contamination, carbon footprint, war profiteering and all the ways war is made to seem normal. Each design was paired with an informative script; together they told a wider story about militarism in our society.
Held in May 2010, the event was a huge success and now other WAND Chapters as well as WAND National are considering hosting one!
Great Job Oregon!
On Tuesday, June 8th State Senator Joyce Elliot won her primary run off. She still needs your support!
