Hate crimes and bias incidents are on the rise, both in Oregon and nationally.
While bias incidents and crimes sometimes target specific individuals, they often violate an entire group or community’s sense of safety and belonging. Graffiti on the wall, fliers, anonymous emails, and language meant to harass individuals convey intolerance that impacts all of us. We want Oregon to be welcoming and inclusive, but sadly these incidents targeting specific people are happening throughout Oregon.
