The Share Fair connects people with resources, services, and each other in a convenient and fun way.
The purpose of the Share Fair is to connect people with resources, services, and each other in a convenient and fun way. The fair will be providing free resources and services from local organizations and community groups to unhoused and working class members of the community. There will be food, live music, games, and a chance to know other Eugene organizations and folks in the community – and it’s all free!

Why Share Fair:
Our event aims to go beyond the experience of handing someone a sandwich when they are hungry, we create a space where people are welcomed to join in community. We provide music, haircuts, massage, bike repair, resume support, first aid, warm meals and empathy to folks who are often pushed away. Additionally, we offer the opportunity to speak with representatives from health care, counseling, and housing services. Through building connections and empowering guests to get involved and volunteer, we are changing the dynamic of our neighborhoods. We rescue food, clothing, shoes, toiletries, backpacks, sleeping bags/camping gear, and much more from various locations to then redistribute to people in need. With more and more of our neighbors being effected by the housing crisis and food insecurity, we need events such as the Share Fair now, more than ever.
Events such as the share fair are necessary because capitalism is failing people. Those who don’t conform to the dominant economic model are discarded by society and the government is unable to provide the sort of care we can provide for each other. One of the principles of anarchism is that members of a community see what needs to be done and take responsibility for doing it themselves. In that spirit, Share Fair is organized by the consensus model; no one leads or follows, instead, all work together toward a common goal. We hope to show that it’s possible to take action without the government and to cooperate without hierarchy while still being effective (or being more effective).

https://meet.jit.si/nacwitchschild (Use Chrome for best experience)
In the lead up to May Day 2020 we’ll be reading and discussing The Witch’s Child!
It is a beautiful, almost lyrical, zine about the need for May Day.
This is a short zine, and no pre-reading is required! It is important to us for this event to be accessible to people of all backgrounds and levels of familiarity with radical literature; all you need is an inquisitive mind! Please join us!
“This is your story, child. This is why
it seems you have everything, but
you feel you have nothing… those
feelings of anguish and rage are the
same itch the seed feels in the last
days of Winter, before it bursts
open and sends out its buds into
the world.”

Notes for volunteering

Ask for help – If you don’t know something or need any assistance ask another volunteer, a section coordinator, someone with a radio, or at the welcome table for help.
Escalation – If tensions are rising ask someone with a radio to call for a peacekeeper. Err on the side of calling for a peacekeeper early even if it’s not necessary yet.
Take breaks! – We want this to be a fun event for everyone. Take breaks as needed.
Be collaborative – The other volunteers are here to help!

How to deal with tough interactions
The vast majority of interactions are great and people are very appreciative & thankful. However the people attending the event have very stressful lives just trying to survive and taking care of their basic needs and sometimes there might be people who are stressed/upset and we want to make sure we create a safe place and everyone is respected.
Below are some tips to have better conversations when dealing with a tough interaction. Please only do what is comfortable for you and seek support when you need it.

Use a buddy system
Get support from other volunteers if you don’t feel comfortable
Breathe
Stay Calm: It will be easier for the other person to calm down if you remain calm
Don’t argue with people.
Don’t take things personally. You don’t need to correct the record or set them straight.
Assume the best of people
Recognize that people might be having a rough day and are often harassed. We want to create a safe welcoming place for them.
Listen actively: let them know you understand their point of view and reflect it back so they know you heard them.
Don’t shush them or tell them to calm down.

Thank you!
We really appreciate you volunteering time for this important event. The Share Fair couldn’t happen without you.
We want to know how to make volunteering as easy, productive, and enjoyable as possible. After you volunteer please send us some feedback!
There are volunteer opportunities in between the share fair days too (seeking donations, coordinating services, making art, etc)! Let us know if you’re interested in helping out! Email us at sharefair@neighborhoodanarchists.org

J20 documentary "Conspiracy to Riot" and potluck

J20 Video Screening + Potluck

@McNail-Riley House
Some folks are getting together for a screening of Conspiracy to Riot by the collective Trouble.
People are welcome to bring food or a small snack to share if they like, but please consider the clean up and general ease of serving what you bring if you do. Plant-based and/or gluten-free encouraged but all food is welcome. There is a kitchen and bathrooms available in the building.
It’s a <40 minute video and there will be time for discussion after the screening. Below is a synopsis of the video.
“TROUBLE #16: CONSPIRACY TO RIOT
On January 20th, 2017, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States of America. Following his inaugural address, as the upper echelons of the American political establishment mingled on the National Mall, several blocks away, a riot was breaking out. A black bloc several hundred strong was wreaking havoc on the streets. The bloc was part of the anti-capitalist and anti-fascist march, one component of a broader day of protests organized under the umbrella #DisruptJ20. Armed with spray paint, crowbars and rocks, this mob smashed windows, clashed with police and redecorated a limo that would eventually be put to the torch. The police repression was swift. Amidst the haze of pepper spray and flashbangs, over two hundred protesters were kettled, and arrested by DC’s Metro Police.
So began one of the most important political trials in recent history. In an effort to set a chilling precedent for anti-Trump resistance, the US Department of Justice charged over 200 people with eight separate felony charges, threatening them with upwards of 80 years in prison. In her crusade to paint the J20 black bloc as one giant conspiracy to riot, federal Prosecutor Jennifer Kerkhoff filed warrants to seize people’s digital data, and entered into an alliance with discredited far-right media outfits peddling doctored evidence. Faced with this repressive array of state power, J20 defendants responded with unflinching solidarity, setting a new standard for political defense in the age of Trump. This is their story.”
There are 5 parking spots available for the McNail-Riley house but if those are full then please park on the street or at the Fairgrounds.
This event is public, so don’t forget to invite friends and comrades!
