DoubleSided Media has been sent a short video of what the scene in front of the Days Inn is currently looking like.
The Days Inn is still taped off, there's a black tent, and officers are still on scene investigating, it appears.
In Kyra Roesle's debut article for @Doublesided541, climate activism makes a physical resurgence in Eugene after a brief hiatus.
There was a bike ride, a die-in, a fuck ton of cops, and two activists were arrested.

We just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came by our table and chatted and/or grabbed our zines.
MG Belka and @jwcroxton's "Eugene Uprising" was a hit and every single one was picked up. Need not worry, though. We'll be printing more soon.
In Part VI, @mgbelka and a much more talkative @jwcroxton begin tackling Eugene's 2020-2021 protests.
Here, complete objectivity is thrown out the window as they share this latest chapter of Eugene's history from their lived experiences.

This is it! The seventh and final chapter of Eugene Rising by
@mgbelka and @jwcroxton is here, and it's about time that we end this saga.
Part VII is all about the far-right/fascist reaction to The Uprising–and how they took over the streets in EUG.

It’s almost as if Portland Police have nothing better to do... Maybe it’s time to redirect the funds from PPB to something that will actually benefit the community like Oregon Food Bank.
“I still haven’t processed mentally the waste that was there.” In Portland, Oregon, a grocery store threw away food after a power outage. Employees were confronted by a crowd angry about what they saw as needless waste. https://t.co/EOYM71hDTH
Here's something a little different from @nathan_bouquet – a short and personal reflection on his first historic snowstorm in Portland and its impact on his unhoused neighbors.

James in on the ground in Westmoreland Park, reporting that activists have prevented the camp from being completely swept.
Follow this thread for developments.
In Part II, @jwcroxton and @mgbelka explore Eugene during the first half of the 20th century, where the Wobblies led strikes, the Ku Klux Klan held political power, and the city was only just beginning to come to terms with its treatment of "vagrants."

We’re gonna go relax now. Stay tuned for new stuff in the coming weeks!
