Friends,

Earlier this month, Eugene became the first city in Oregon to pass a policy that phases out “natural” gas in new low-rise residential building construction. This historic win was the result of a years-long campaign led by the Fossil Free Eugene coalition, of which Breach Collective is a core member.

Needless to say, it’s time for a proper celebration. We hope you will join us! 

Breach and Fossil Free Eugene are kicking off the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference (PIELC) with a good old fashioned party. Join us on Thursday, March 2 from 6-9 pm at WildCraft Cider Works for our joint fundraiser and celebration. Come for the free pizza, stay for the must-see karaoke throwdown with Breach’s very own Danny Noonan. IYKYK.

If you can’t make it, celebrate this important victory with a tax-deductible donation. We can’t continue to secure these big wins against the fossil fuel industry without your support.

And the party doesn’t have to end on Thursday night! Stick around and join us at PIELC Friday through Sunday. Breach staff and board members will be on several inspiring panels this year (see below). Read more about our panels here.
