Back 2 BackWe Are Neighbors:The We Are Neighbors photo project is an exhibit displaying the faces and backgrounds of 45 immigrants from 25 countries who live in Lane County. This display consists of 30 black and white and color photographs in 11" x 14" frames. This project reminds us of our heritage and helps us recognize the many ways out immigrant neighbors contribute to our communities.
What Does Family Look Like?:This exhibit creates photographic essays in an effort to raise community awareness around the many different types of families that exist. It helps us to counter stereotyping and scapegoating by helping people to recognize that there are many types of families that contribute to this community. Families in this exhibit include: single parent, same sex, interracial, multi-generational, adoptive, and extended. Each of the families in this exhibit live within the limits of Lane County in Oregon. It is our hope that this photo exhibit will help people around our community understand that loving and nurturing families exist in many forms, and that each deserves respect. This display consists of 30 black and white and color photographs in 11" x 14" frames.
Displaying the Exhibits:Each exhibit is free of charge and CALC provides set up and take down of the display. The pictures can be hung or placed on stands (also provided by CALC), and the display is adaptable to the space that you have available, as some pictures can be left out as needed. Each exhibit is usually on display for one month but time can be adjusted to fit your needs.

LGBTQ youth storm the capitol!In collaboration with Basic Rights Oregon and Eugene-Springfield’s Queer Youth Support Coalition, the LGBTQ Youth Leadership Development Pilot Project mobilized local youth to participate in lobby day on March 7, 2007 from 9-5. This served as an opportunity to support state-wide non-discrimination legislation, learn how our state government works, and lobby our legislators. At noon we rallied on the capitol steps.
