The Eugene City Council listens to comments provided by community members at the Nov. 27 city council meeting. At the beginning of the meeting, Eugene mayor Lucy Vinis and Ward 8 representative Randy Groves voiced their support for a resolution calling for a ceasefire. "A resolution from this council can be a powerful reassertion of values that this council has expressed in earlier resolutions in support of peace and in opposition to hate," Vinis said. "We have a moment to stand for peace, with clarity about the depth of pain and the challenge of compromise that is required. We should all do so with clear heads and honest hearts."
