Portland Peaceful Response Coalition

In light of the serious and immediate threat posed by the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Portland Peaceful Response Coalition is indefinitely suspending its hosting of the Friday Peace Rally at Pioneer Courthouse Square. We take this step in solidarity with the frontline healthcare personnel who are daily risking their lives to care for the sick and injured of our community, to protect those most vulnerable to this deadly virus, and to reduce the very real danger of our local healthcare providers being overwhelmed by the rising numbers of cases emerging in the Portland metro area.
