We will be cancelling upcoming programming...

In response to the state of Oregon's ban in effect over the next four weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be cancelling all upcoming programming, including our sixth annual Spring Break Out. We are so sorry to have to do this, but it's best for those in our communities who are immunosuppressive and need to take this time to stay healthy.

This also hurts us as a non-profit, as we will not have as many donations coming in with these cancellations. Please consider donating to Don't Shoot Portland while we wait out the status of COVID-19. Our rental costs alone will greatly be affected. Look out for other activists and organizations in your communities as they are certainly going through a lack in resources as well.

Please reach out to contact@dontshootpdx.org to bring donations by our space that can be utilized for vulnerable communities. Hand sanitizer, soap, toilet paper, Clorox wipes, clothing, food items, etc. Families will be out of work and children will be affected as well.

Please get in contact asap if you are able to help us coordinate supply pick-up and drop off's - we will absolutely need help distributing items to our communities. If any fellow groups need our location as a resource, please reach out as well. We would love to extend this support to those in need.

Updates soon to come,
Don't Shoot PDX

Throwbacks of some community unity while we spend some time apart. Stay grounded.
