About This Cause

Our organizational work and activism, including direct community education workshops, supports the outreach of our continued advocacy as first respondents and has helped community members contribute through direct engagement and legislative value. There are a vast amount of policy based assets influenced and being harnessed in our strategic building of relationships and networks used toward the shift in culture and systemic discrimination. Activists on the front line need to be encouraged to continue honest conversations about Portland's connection with Ferguson, race in America and its influence within politics.
