📣 GO BEYOND PROTESTING! 📣

Protests are powerful—they show we care, and they bring us together. But lasting change comes from what we do next. Thankfully, there are many high-impact ways to take action, locally AND nationally!

MONDAY, 10/13: Pack the Eugene City Council Meeting and Get the Flock Out!

We need you to:

• CONTACT your city reps and tell them why you don't want Flock in Eugene.

• PACK THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING on 10/13 and sign up for the public comment period.
Info: www.eugene-or.gov/Calendar.asp...

On Monday, October 13, pack the next Eugene City Council Meeting against Flock! Come to Eugene City Hall, 500 E 4th Street, at 7 PM.

The Eugene City Council is having a work session on Flock Cameras.
This comes after residents made an uproar at the last few city meetings and in local media about the Flock mass-surveillance system and its underhanded installation, demanding that Eugene cancel the Flock contract!

The Work Session is scheduled for October 8 at noon. Unfortunately, there is no public comment period, but community members can listen in on Zoom. At this work session, city councilors and staff will be asking EPD and the vendor, Flock, about the system, with no opposing groups in the room to refute their claims.

So, let's reach out to councilors directly with facts and concerns.

Contact your city reps and tell them why they should get the Flock out of Eugene.
