It feels so refreshing to know that institutions and organizations focused on community preservation understand our vision for the Albina Art Center.

Thank you to the Society of American Archivists for providing your statement of support!

"SAA stands with Don’t Shoot PDX, an arts and education organization that promotes social justice and civic participation in Portland, Oregon, in its campaign to reclaim the Albina Arts Center as a resource for the Black community. SAA advocates for archives—including community archives—in the preservation and access of records of enduring value. SAA encourages Don’t Shoot PDX to use its voice to continue the legacy of community-driven archives, arts, and education in the Black neighborhoods of North and Northeast Portland."
