This week, Juneteenth was officially declared a national federal holiday to commemorate the freedom of the last enslaved Black people in the U.S.

PCC is proud to honor this holiday as a time of celebration and a time to reflect on the work we have yet to do. #juneteenth

PCC recognizes Indigenous Peoples Day. When hosting events or building new facilities, it is a priority for PCC 2 honor these important histories/cultures. We're proud to take part in #IndigenousPeoplesDay2020 @PrezMitsui @NAYAFam @ORCommColleges

Great news! Thanks to everyone who mobilized to oppose this terrible rule. Proud that PCC signed on to the amicus brief in support of the action by Harvard/MIT. https://t.co/kClfRYv1mT

When @PCCEquity packed up our boxes and went remote in March, we expected to throw a “welcome back” gathering in July.

Though our office operations remain remote, it felt important to keep our gathering in July—a little physically distanced fun in the park!

In our offices this morning -- AACC’s Unfinished Business meeting. We are having a great discussion on #equity with #diversity leaders from community colleges across the country.

@hmayerpdx Congratulations!

[Farzana Nayani @farzananayani]

In case you’re wondering what I am doing when you hear me do a land acknowledgment when I speak - this is the reason. Also to #decolonize our #work & gathering places to center historic, systemic #oppression against Native peoples & lands & actively stop it. TY @PCCEquity #equity

[PCC Equity & Inclusion @PCCEquity]

This land acknowledgement is meant to build critical consciousness of the ongoing erasure of Native American and Indigenous peoples. We say their specific names in hopes that we do our best to learn about each unique Tribal Nation and persons. - Thank you, Rachel Black Elk.

[Eboni M. Zamani-Gallaher @emzgallaher]

Thanks so much for attending and support of this work.

[Karin Edwards @Drkarinedwards]

In conversation with Dr. Kendi on how to be an anti-racist. There’s no such thing as race neutral policies.

[Mark Mitsui @PrezMitsui]

“The heartbeat of racism is denial. The heartbeat of antiracism is confession.” Thank you Dr Kendi and Kiran Ahuja of Philanthropy NW for holding a critical conversation at PCC tonight. ⁦@PrezMitsui⁩

Ibram X. Kendi delivering a powerful message aligned with his book "How to be An Antiracist" @PortlandCC.
