Coalitions & Sponsorships

Unite Oregon organizes and advocates with local and national organizations to advance the rights of people of color, immigrants and refugees, rural communities, and people experiencing poverty. We work in coalition with partners that align with our values to ensure that our community voice is heard at the tables where decisions are made and to continue building a unified intercultural movement for justice.

Coalitions

• Anti-Displacement PDX (ADPDX) Coalition: Unite Oregon has formed a leadership development program and cohort to address the needs of those facing displacement - especially Black, Indigenous, immigrants, refugees, and People of Color residents in the Portland Metro region. ADPDX focuses on empowering, educating, and developing advocacy skills to create opportunities that minimize displacement risks for our communities.

• Community Development & Economic Prosperity Program: Unite Oregon has launched an economic justice program to build and retain wealth for systemically and institutionally excluded communities - namely immigrants, refugees, Black and Indigenous communities, and People of Color. The Community Development & Economic Prosperity Program seeks to develop and pilot an economic ecosystem that generates wealth, creates assets, helps community entrepreneurs develop businesses, and reinvest resources to ensure sustainability and stability for our communities. As part of this initiative, Unite Oregon is working to collaboratively develop a community-based, community-centered strategy for equitable development in East Portland and the Southwest Corridor.

For more information about these coalitions, please get in touch with Leslie Lum, Economic Justice Director at leslie@uniteoregon.org.

Sponsorships

• Radical Rest is a healing justice collective of practitioners and educators centering the holistic wellness needs of the BIPOC community through access to culturally responsive, health justice events and opportunities for anti-oppressive education.
  
  Leading with love, Radical Rest is dreaming of a future in which body-mind-spirit-community-environment are understood to be inextricably interconnected and central to wellness. We conceive of a time when the legacy of capitalism, settler and extraction colonization, and body supremacy no longer define our orientation to our bodies or the delivery of wellness services. We see a world where healing is culturally-relevant, happens in the community, and is equally accessible to all.
