I believe strongly that these issues require more <br />than band-aid solutions to cover the symptoms, but rather <br />meaningful, original, and sometimes radical ideas that actually <br />get to the *root* of the problem. It is because of this belief that I <br />hope to be part of the Eugene planning commission. It is here <br />where ingenuity can make a big impact towards shifting the <br />course of our community. <br />M <br />Human Rights Commission <br /> Dillon G.

I believe this can happen <br />best through grassroots efforts to build/encourage <br />networks of mutual aid among neighbors. Through local, <br />directly democratic institutions, I believe a new and better <br />world could be built in the shell of the old. <br />Dillon Thomson <br />HRC - Round 1 Applications July 8, 2019, Meeting – Item 4
