In the face of jail expansion, imprisonment, and increases in policing, we are fighting for the vibrant livelihood and robust resources that working class, Black, Brown, immigrant, and queer movements and communities deserve. Will you help us keep this vital work alive this summer and throughout the year?
This spring CR Portland and the Care Not Cops Coalition took big swings at the racist Gang Enforcement Team through mobilizations, media, and community events. Our Care Not Cops demands compelled a Portland decision-maker to boldly propose defunding the anti-gang policing program!

Our organizing blocked his ill-intended plans and defunded Urban Shield for good.
