Protest-Related Concerns and Questions
The events in late May were significant for our community. As a City organization we appreciate the concerns and questions we have heard regarding our response.
In Eugene, the work our community has done to promote and establish robust accountability measures provides a strong foundation for future changes. We also recognize we still have work to do and important changes to make as we move forward.
The City is open to change, and we want to provide information that may help respond to some of the questions and concerns we’ve heard from the community. Below you can find information and links to resources related to those issues including:
- July 25 Protests and Riot Response
