Dear Community -

This Friday Aug 7 at 5:15 PM – 6:00 PM at the Beaumont Middle School (41st and NE Fremont) you are invited to join community members and neighborhood leaders for a Community Speakout for Neighborhood Safety and Justice.  After the highly publicized attack [KATU Story] against a young Vietnamese man in the Beaumont-Wilshire Neighborhood, who grew up in the neighborhood, elders in APANO, the young man and community allies met today to discuss the crime and are calling for the gathering.

IRCO Engage Diversity and Civic Leadership graduates and multiracial allies will be gathering along with Central Northeast Neighbors, local businesses and concerned residents to speakout against hate, and for a safe and just community.

Will you join us?  Will you spread the word?

Our goals are to acknowledge the hate crime, educate about crime prevention resources, and ultimately build stronger relationships between communities and neighbors.

Sincerely,

Rev. Joseph Santos-Lyons 503-512-0490
