The streets surrounding the Wayne Lyman Morse United States Courthouse on Eighth Avenue were jammed this morning with protestors holding signs and listening to speeches and songs. Marchers then took off walking west on Broadway and north on Olive Street, before returning to City Hall.
Many demonstrators were wearing inflatable costumes (recently popularized in Portland, where protestors in inflatable frog costumes are demonstrating around the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building there). Here are some photos from the Eugene event.
“We are all really strong in joy. Seeing everyone smiling and playing together, I feel really close to everyone here, and it is our closeness that will get us through,” said Brittany Rae, who sprays bubbles in the middle of Coburg Road during the No Kings 2 protest in Eugene, Oct. 18, 2025.
