Eugene Raging Grannies keep protest voices loud with political parody songs
EUGENE, Ore. — Colorful hats, familiar tunes and pointed lyrics are helping a group of older women in Eugene keep their political message in the public ear. The Eugene Raging Grannies use song as a form of protest, writing and rehearsing political parodies of popular tunes biweekly at the United Methodist Church. Dressed in sweaters, scarves and sewn hats, the group pairs its “granny” look with pins and protest songs aimed at speaking out on issues they care about.

New photo book shows life on the streets of Portland
Three years ago, Keith Zimmerman picked up a camera for the first time at the age of 49. His new photo book "Outside" is his self-published debut depicting the lives of dozens of people sheltering on the streets of Portland — an experience that he is personally familiar with. This month Keith celebrated eight years of sobriety after experiencing addiction and homelessness for decades. “People living outside are just like you — they’re our neighbors,” said Keith, who goes by his artist name, Keith Z. “I wanted to allow a space for somebody who’s not necessarily had that experience to be able to get close to these people and consider them as human beings.” Video and writing by Jireh Deng/OPB Additional photos by Keith Zimmerman.
