Portland’s Black Community can’t breathe. With COVID-19 wreaking havoc across the world and disproportionately affecting people of color, federal relief failing to reach the most vulnerable businesses and national outrage over systemic racism and police brutality, Black owned businesses in Portland are hurting. These businesses are part of what makes Portland great and your support is more important now than ever.
