Hate & Bias Prevention and Response Toolkit

We are committed to working to make Eugene a welcoming and safe community for everyone. To achieve this, we must create an environment in which hatred and bigotry are not acceptable as they directly undermine the Eugene we all want to live in. 

Hate and bias have major impacts on victims, families, and communities at large. In Eugene, everyone has a stake in creating a community where every person feels welcome, valued and respected. 


This Prevention and Response Toolkit exists to support you, your neighborhood, and your communities in engaging with us in this effort.


Community action can result in building stronger connections and greater resiliency in our community.
