Regularly reminded that Black Lives Matter, the organizers helped expand our vision to call for
Trans Lives Matter
Black Women’s Lives Matter
Say His Name
Say Her Name
and more.
“THE SYSTEM IS NOT BROKEN. IT WORKS LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED TO. THAT IS WHY WE SHUT SHIT DOWN.”
-TERESSA RAIFFORD
“SILENCE IS THE ENEMY. SOUND IS OUR WEAPON.”
-JANELLE MONAE
Members of Wondaland led us in song.
And we were reminded to ask…
HOW
CAN
WE
JOIN
TOGETHER…
INTO A COMMUNITY OF VOICES CALLING OUT THEIR NAMES?
SAY THEIR NAMES.
The rally was organized by Don’t Shoot PDX and other organizations in the community. Janelle Monae + Wondaland attended in support of local movements. All photos were taken by Fio Law and used with permission.
