Small business owners and community members in Eugene are making their voices heard about crime in the city. Eugene Wake Up is a pro small business Non Partisan group committed to making our community safer. We will step in and help our fellow small business owners in any way we can, from lobbying, to clean up to filling small financial gaps.

Wake Up Eugene emerged from a meeting of five dozen local businesses with a mission to unite small business owners to drive policy that improves our community. It’s a nonpartisan group that wants to work with the city on solutions to the challenges of homelessness. What makes it different is that it doesn’t shy away from the obvious fact that the challenges of homelessness affect more than just the people living on the streets.

We know that good policy – the fundamental principles that guide our governments- intersects with a small business’s bottom line, the livelihood of its employees, and the health of our community.
