The recent televised Jan. 6 hearings have already revealed, in shocking detail, how former President Donald Trump and his associates planned, promoted and paid for efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
For the future of our democracy, this needs to be a moment that inspires millions of people to take action.
In America, voters should have the final say. But Trump and far-right extremists engaged in a criminal conspiracy by helping to promote and pay for election sabotage efforts that culminated in the deadly attack on our country on Jan. 6.
The U. S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack’s upcoming public hearings will present the facts about this attack and its lead up. The committee’s investigation has been nonpartisan and factual.
We must support the committee in investigating and holding accountable everyone involved in this crime — to both ensure it never happens again and make sure that our elected leaders respect the will of the people
This includes making sure everyone’s vote is counted by volunteering as an election protection volunteer.
Register to volunteer for election protection to make sure we protect the results of the 2022 election at cmnca.us/jan6ep.

A Note From the Publisher
Dear Readers,
The last two years have been some of the hardest in Eugene Weekly’s 43 years. There were moments when keeping the paper alive felt uncertain. And yet, here we are — still publishing, still investigating, still showing up every week.
That’s because of you!
Not just because of financial support (though that matters enormously), but because of the emails, notes, conversations, encouragement and ideas you shared along the way. You reminded us why this paper exists and who it’s for.
Listening to readers has always been at the heart of Eugene Weekly. This year, that meant launching our popular weekly Activist Alert column, after many of you told us there was no single, reliable place to find information about rallies, meetings and ways to get involved. You asked. We responded.
We’ve also continued to deepen the coverage that sets Eugene Weekly apart, including our in-depth reporting on local real estate development through Bricks & Mortar — digging into what’s being built, who’s behind it and how those decisions shape our community.
And, of course, we’ve continued to bring you the stories and features many of you depend on: investigations and local government reporting, arts and culture coverage, sudoku and crossword puzzles, Savage Love, and our extensive community events calendar. We feature award-winning stories by University of Oregon student reporters getting real world journalism experience. All free. In print and online.
None of this happens by accident. It happens because readers step up and say: this matters.
As we head into a new year, please consider supporting Eugene Weekly if you’re able. Every dollar helps keep us digging, questioning, celebrating — and yes, occasionally annoying exactly the right people. We consider that a public service.
Thank you for standing with us!
