Please check out these threads describing the local NAACP’s unsupportive and harmful disregard for BIPOC activists in Portland.

Let local President Rev. E.D. Mondaine know this is unacceptable and urge him to retract statements against protesters.

This journalist shares a statement about the NAACP’s treatment of youth-led activist group Fridays4Freedom at the march on Aug. 28. It also includes an open letter to the NAACP from a BIPOC activist. https://twitter.com/catalinagaitan_/status/1299796408292179968

Here’s an endorsement of the open letter in the previous thread by an amazing activist in Portland and additional context on how local political leaders leverage their relationship with the NAACP to discredit the movement. https://twitter.com/lilithxsinclair/status/1299492306337239040

This thread provides additional context and describes a personal call for Mayor Wheeler and Rev. E.D. Mondaine to support BIPOC organizers. We need more people doing this! https://twitter.com/jakedockter/status/1298829494589911042

Urge the local NAACP to stand in solidarity with Portland’s BIPOC activists that are fighting for justice! #blacklivesmatter #PortlandProtests #NoJusticeNoPeace
