It's time for Basic Rights Oregon's 11th Annual Bites for Rights Event!

On Thursday, June 24th, restaurants, coffee shops, bars and bakeries around the state will donate a generous percentage of their day's proceeds to Basic Rights Oregon. On this one day, you can feast to promote fairness for all LGBT Oregonians.

We invite you to dine out all day long and turn your restaurant habit into a political act.

Visit as many places as you can and be sure to thank the restaurants for their participation before you leave. A full list of participants can be found at www.bitesforrights.com. Please contact Ellen Flenniken atEllen@basicrights.org or 503.222.6151 x118 for more details.

Eighty restaurants have agreed to participate in this year's Bites for Rights-so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a delicious destination.

The restaurants in Eugene that are participating are 

Poppi's
Sweet Life
Morning Glory
