BE Magic is organized by The BE Series

The BE Series (@uobeseries) brings together thinkers, makers, disrupters in every field to share their ideas on issues that really matter.

Doors: 5:30pm

Presentation: 6pm-7:30pm

 

Daniel Eisen is a multiracial scholar from Hawaii, sociologist, and founder of @GroundedinMagic. His work merges his academic background and magic to support identity work that focuses on healing from and dreaming beyond oppression.

Imagine that you're at a party, coffee shop, or at work, and someone says something to someone else that feels off. Ever feel unsure about what to do? Or how to help make the situation better? How can you help to build a culture of healthy and respectful relationships?

In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), people of all identities, experiences, and levels of comfort are invited to join us for an interactive workshop on speaking up when things get weird. We'll look at some specific situations and explore possible ways to practice leadership when it matters most.

This event is produced by the University of Oregon's Men's Resource Center (MRC), Rehearsals for Life, and the Center for Community Counseling's McKenzie River Men's Center, and in partnership with the UO chapters of Phi Kappa Psi and Alpha Tau Omega.

This all levels Yoga class will highlight the theme “support myself in my self-care practice.” The class is free at the Student Recreation Center, Studio 283, and all equipment is provided.

Denim Day 2022 is a day of action aimed at supporting survivors of sexual assault. Denim Day came about in response to a 1992 legal case in Italy in which the court found a perpetrator of sexual assault not guilty because the survivor was wearing tight denim clothing, and therefore, must have consented by helping the assailant remove the clothing items. Our office wears denim today and offers this programming to stand in solidarity with survivors because we know that clothing NEVER equals consent. 

Sexual Violence Prevention and Education will be tabling all day outside of the EMU to provide a safe space to share messages of support for survivors and participate in other activities. This tabling event will be happening in conjunction with our office’s Social Media campaign about the day, which will give more information on how students and organizations can take actionable steps beyond putting on jeans for the day. Stop by between noon and 4 pm to learn more about how you can participate in the day and be a better bystander, friend and community member. 

Please join the UO Women’s Center for “Take Back the Night 2022: A Rally, March and Speak Out Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.”

Take Back the Night is a yearly international protest aimed at raising awareness about the realities of sexual and domestic violence on campus and in the community, both for survivors of sexual and domestic violence and those who want to support and bear witness in solidarity.

We will gather for a rally at 6:00 p.m., then march through the streets of Eugene, returning to Southwest Campus Green behind the Knight Library for an informal Speak Out.

For more information please contact Women’s Center Sexual Violence Prevention and Educator Coordinator, Kati Rodriguez, at SVPEWC@gmail.com, or Women’s Center Director, Fatima Roohi Pervaiz, at fpervaiz@uoregon.edu.

I’m Jade - a comedian and content creator trying to stay dry in Portland, OR. For over 6 years I’ve been creating lifestyle and entertainment content geared toward LGBT audiences on Youtube. I’ve gained an audience that’s over 300,000 strong with over 30 million views across all my videos. My content has landed me features in Paper Magazine, Buzzfeed, and VH1.com. Through comedy (and an occasional roast), I examine pop culture and the nuances of my LGBT community and culture. My motto is and will always be, “This is a safe space, but you CAN get roasted.”
