DSP’s year-round programming advocates for community members facing racism and discrimination by providing legal representation and direct advocacy. Since its inception in 2016, Don’t Shoot Portland has hosted its own dialogues, community forums and workshops focusing on history, archiving and social culture. The art proponent of DSP’s work acts as a communicative tool to facilitate discussions about race in America while providing educational assets to those most affected by discrimination in public policy. As we uplift and amplify social movements around the world, your solidarity and commitment to change is the impact needed. We must continue to evolve alongside one another to extend this work.

DSP’s programming will remain free and low-barrier to keep its resources accessible to all. @dontshootpdx
