GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM GETS THE GOODS
CLIMATE PROGRESS IN EUGENE!
In February 2023, Eugene became Oregon's first community to adopt a residential electrification ordinance. Since then, despite some setbacks, cities
throughout Oregon are pursuing electrification policy, e.g., Milwaukie, Ashland and Bend. Most climate pollution originates in cities and local policy changes are vital to get the ball rolling to mitigate greenhouse gas emission where we can and as rapidly as we can. Big kudos to the Eugene City Council for taking this bold step. With the strong leadership of our Climate Mayor, Lucy Vinis, Eugene continues to be a leader in doing our part to decarbonize our city.
For details on the Electrify Eugene campaign, visit our campaign page here.
In addition to our local Electrify Eugene campaign, we also help push with coalition partners for strong policies at the state and federal levels to: stop regional fossil fuel projects, such as the GTN Xpress gas expansion, protect mature and old growth forests, the Pacific Northwest's most promising carbon storage and sequestration solution, and demand Oregon's Treasury divest from fossil fuel investments.

The seas are rising, and so are we.
350 Eugene is a grassroots, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, started in 2013, that works toward climate justice by organizing people to make deep system change: transitioning off fossil fuels; advocating for needed strong climate policies; and fostering resilient, just, and welcoming communities with creative, artful & joy-filled outreach, education and events. We do this through a diversity of tactics including policy advocacy, public education and non-violent direct action.
