The DGR Eugene chapter has been meeting and actively organizing. We have a number of new recruits locally and are participating in DGR-wide discussions, brainstorms, and planning sessions to develop a more focused strategy for the coming year and beyond. Our current plans include conducting training in several Oregon locations, speaking at conferences, and participating in actions to push the movement to escalation. We’re also considering expanding the scope of DGR Eugene to include all of Oregon (and changing the name to match). Let us know if you have any thoughts on this, or if you’re located in Oregon and interested in becoming a member, ally, or just sitting down to discuss revolutionary politics - contact us.
