Participants gathered together for the first time on Tuesday night at Brown Hope, a local nonprofit in Northeast Portland that runs the program.
A local organization is rallying support for their Black Resilience Fund in honor of Juneteenth. Dozens of businesses have committed to supporting a unique pilot program this holiday weekend - to help transform lives right here in the Portland metro area. “Our mission is to inspire racial healing,” Cameron Whitten, Founder and CEO of Brown Hope, said.
The Black Resilience Fund, dedicated to the healing and resilience of Black Portlanders, presents Juneteenth 2023, a campaign supported by Portland’s small business community to raise awareness and funds for BRF’s new income guarantee initiative.
