Eugene demonstrators march from Alton Baker Park to City Hall
Two Saturday rallies linked opposition to Trump with an early-voting message.
People gathered at Alton Baker Park on Saturday for one of two Eugene 'No Kings' demonstrations, then crossed the Ferry Street Bridge toward City Hall for a second rally. Organizers and participants framed the day as a protest of President Donald Trump and an encouragement to participate in the coming election.
The park event included speakers, live music and art installations. Lookout Eugene-Springfield reported hundreds at the two sites, while KLCC described attendance in the thousands. The estimates differ, so no precise total is asserted here.
Field notes
What changed: Two related rallies took place in Eugene on October 17.
