Eugene Business Owners Face Dilemma Amid General Strike
Eugene, OR — January 30, 2026 — Local business owners in Eugene are grappling with the decision to open or close in observance of today’s general strike, a nationwide protest against federal law enforcement actions.
Activists across the country have called for a general strike to protest federal law enforcement crackdowns, leaving Eugene business owners with a choice to make. Some establishments, like Party Bar, have decided to close in solidarity with the movement.
The general strike is part of a broader national movement in response to recent federal actions, including the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Portland.
