Who is the Portland Economic Justice Giving Project?
The Portland Economic Justice Giving Project is working to move money and resources to grassroots organizations working to eliminate the wealth gap that exists for Black, Indigenous and People of Color. We are a group of hopeful, organized, curious and invested individuals committed to justice, reparations and community building. Though we come from all over, we are working together in Portland, OR to raise the funds to then invest in organizations working toward racial economic justice on the ground in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming.
Our group is committed to honoring and empowering economic justice organizers in the Northwest region by:
- Raising $125,000 to fund grassroots organizations working to alleviate and resolve the economic injustice adversely impacting BIPOC communities
- Develop a collective understanding of how racism and classism interact with the system to produce unjust and disproportionate outcomes
- Investing in these efforts of the organizations we will fund through a meaningful and personal gift, and fundraising our own communities
- Building a network of social justice-oriented community members committed to racial economic justice
This work must be done, and it cannot be done alone. As we work together to accomplish these goals, we recognize the critical role our network and community plays. So, we invite you to join us as we collectively move toward economic justice for all!
