Description
May 20: "Strategies Going Forward: Lets Get Organized Eugene-Springfield"On May 5th, a white nationalist rally was held in Eugene under the banner of an "America First" rally and flag wave. What happened? What should we do next time? What do we need to know to do it well?
This strategy session is taking priority over our previous programming, due to the need for timely organizing. That topic will be covered in a June session. See below.
