Don’t Shoot Portland
We are marching to show solidarity against racist policies and
systemic discrimination that promote organized hate against
marginalized communities. With the rise in hate-crime reporting,
communities are working with #dontshootpdx to develop safety
programming to build strategies against racially motivated g | .
