CO-CREATING RESILIENCY IN & AROUND EUGENE, OREGON

During difficult and uncertain times, the Eugene metro area (Eugene, Springfield and surrounding areas) have often been an example for other cities, with creative problem solving and community solidarity resulting in innovative solutions. As climate change's effects intensify and the economy continues to get worse (with the negative effects hitting the 99% the hardest), we need to come together once more, in a way that we never have done in the past. It is time to co-create a new kind of resilience, one that ensures that we come together in the direst of circumstances and exceed even our own expectations. We must  destroy any doubt that our city is anything  but a shining example for how cities can overcome hardships and uncertainty and transform into a symbol of strength and self-sufficiency. This website is a local hub for information, resources, skill-building, and support in and around the city of Eugene so that together, we can forge true resilience in an unpredictable world.
