Another Young Life Tragically Cut Short
The need for
alternatives to
the streets
l oretta s Mith
Our community
recently shed tears
for yet another
young life tragically
cut short in a police
shooting. According to those
who knew him best, Quanice
Hayes was a much loved young
man, full of life and promise.

His family mourns his loss, and
we mourn with them.
Mayor Wheeler and the
Portland Police Bureau have
pledged a full investi-
gation. They have my
full support and confi-
dence.
One thing is certain:
Too many young people
in our community are
at risk of suffering the
same fate as Quanice Hayes
because they lack meaning-
ful alternatives to the streets.

Multnomah County, there are
30,000 young people ages 16
to 24 who are not in school or
at a job.
When I first got into office
in 2011, I held a community
meeting and asked the black
and brown men in the room
what it was they needed. Jobs
and jobs training, they said.
These young people need
opportunities to gain life skills,
job training, mentorship, and
positive role models.
We know this works! For
too long we have failed to pri-
oritize programs that can help
at-risk teens get a foothold on
opportunity and become pro-
ductive members of our com-
munity.
Let’s not wait for the death
of another of our youth to act
- let’s grow these investments
in critical programs today. To-
gether, there’s nothing we can’t
conquer.
