Ferguson Anniversary Event Hosted by Teressa Raiford
____________________________________________________________
Let me start off by asking "Who doesn't know Teressa Raiford?" Who hasn't heard about the protest throughout Oregon for Human Rights and Dignity with the chanting sounds and cries of #BlackLivesMatter? Who hasn't witnessed the powerful and articulate testimony over 5 years in senate judiciary hearings, at the human rights commission, school board meetings and even a trip to meet with Michelle Obama in 2013 to represent victims of gun violence . Who hasn't seen the national reporting of her activism including political candidacy in support of and with our voiceless communities of color here in Portland and througout Oregon whenever called upon?
In over 5 years this woman has helped to inspire, educate and organize Oregonians who have been left our of the role of community member. She has leveraged the voices of community members who are the most oppressed and unseen in society #TheThrowaways The ones who have appointed representation, with no voice of their own....
Who knew that Teressa Raiford, has been able to accomplish so much service without a home, sponsor organization, or financial support? How are we going to continue to say #BlackLivesMatter when we are not even aware that the #BlackVoices of Activist Matter TOO! Allieship should be more than a trip to the march wearing a t-shirt or buying a button. Being in Support of #BlackLives should be done in a conscious effort to support those who are fighting on the front lines. being a sovereign organization is a condition of the poverty Teressa is fighting against. Support her Today by making a contribution to this fund and then share it and request that people make a matching contribution. Friends of #DontShootPDX have gotten together and found a place for her to move in and we want to cover the initial expenses so that this can become a long term home. Teressa needs rest and medical attention... she also needs to be able to focus on the educational assets that have developed through her unique and impressive leadership. We cannot quantify the value of her consistent political activism and social work though we are willing to do our best to make accomodations available to keep her safe and healthy. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
