Reclaim MLK 2025!
On January 18, join Don’t Shoot Portland at the Pacific Northwest College of Art for an art build ahead of Reclaim MLK March!
This art build will feature free educational programming, including a presentation from ACLU ‘Planning for a Second Trump Presidency’, walk-in legal resources by PCC Clear Clinic and Protest With Purpose, providing mental health support by Mayfield & Associates.
For those in need of direct legal services, we will have pro-bono attorneys from PCC Clear Clinic providing eviction expungement, legal name and gender marker changes, tenant advocacy, and referrals to their free eviction defense as well as immigration legal services. These services are completely free of charge and intake will only take 15-30 minutes. We encourage you to share this important legal opportunity with those in your network who could find it useful!
Create meaningful art, learn from local organizers with resources and meet your Portland neighbors to cultivate community and impact.
