Together we are building a new vision of community safety that shrinks the corrections system and invests in communities.

Monique Ortega from Life Art, a youth program in southern Oregon that provides peer support groups, academic tutoring, emotional support, violence reduction and art programs, explains why we must invest in culturally-responsive and -specific services.

Oregonians deserve a public safety system that invests in healing, stability, and opportunity.

However, the state's reliance overreliance on incarceration hasn't made us any safer.

Oregonians deserve real healing, real safety, and real solutions to the state’s addiction and homelessness crisis. But forcing people into the criminal justice system for addiction treatment is not a fix to the crises we face. Take action at https://t.co/Ko3qLaxV9k💚

[Oregon Food Bank @oregonfoodbank]

Ending hunger means breaking down barriers that destabilize families and prevent access to housing, jobs, and more. It means centering health & connection for each person experiencing addiction. Ending hunger means rejecting false solutions that drive families deeper into poverty

“Measure 110 is putting money into places that the government has never put in before: Black and Brown organizations, peer recovery centers, outreach workers, peer support specialists, harm reduction” - Mercedes, Director of Advocacy at @latnet_PDX.

Julia's son, Max, died of an overdose. Treating addiction as a crime didn't save him. The life-saving services #Measure110 is now funding could have. https://t.co/OURYSBJ4jT

Opinion: "The year before he was assassinated, King said the pervasiveness of injustice and lack of opportunity for the underclass gave him fear that he was 'integrating (his) people into a burning house.' That’s profound. I often feel the heat."

@POIC_RAHS's Healing Hurt People program works to disrupt cycles of violence and support victims and their families impacted by trauma. We need to invest and expand on robust services and culturally-specific resources that are supporting communities most impacted by violence.
