Don’t Shoot Portland is a Black-led human rights nonprofit that advocates for community and accountability. Since 2014, we have implemented art, education and civic participation within our programming to create social change. Our organizing and activism work include educational workshops to support the outreach of our continued advocacy as critical response and has helped community members contribute through direct engagement and legislative value.
