On Feb. 4, Sunrise Eugene and the 4J Climate Justice Team hosted a student walkout that began at South Eugene High School. After getting set up, the group of roughly 250 students and organizers marched to Washburne Park for speeches. There, both Sunrise Eugene and Sunrise Corvallis endorsed Doyle Canning as their candidate for Oregon’s 4th congressional district.
