Everyone deserves to feel safe in their community.
This is what we’re all supposed to be fighting for. But last night saw more senseless violence in Portland. Another minority-owned, local business was destroyed by a violent group of individuals.
A police officer was filmed repeatedly striking an individual at a protest. Even the building where I live, along with dozens of other families, was violently attacked. These acts range from stupid, to dangerous, to criminal. The violence must stop.
None of this should sit well with any thinking Portlander.
Please read my entire statement on last night's violence on my Facebook Page.

Thank you to the incredible work of our State's Black lawmakers, organizations, and Black leaders for your advocacy to reinvest in BIPOC communities.
As Mayor, I will continue to do the same as I work with my fellow commissioners and prepare for the next phase of recovery.

I continue to support and encourage demonstrations calling for racial justice and police reform. I condemn the criminal destruction that occurred last night at the Multnomah County Building.
The irony is not lost on me that the building that’s damaged is a center for community engagement, where people can access their local government, and a place that offers services and equipment that the people of Multnomah County need.
The work that we are all being called to do is to make this community safer. This type of destruction makes the community less safe.

The federal occupation of our community has brought a new kind of fear to our streets. Federal agents nearly killed a demonstrator, and their presence has led to increased violence and vandalism in our downtown core.
The daily coverage of their actions has distracted our community from the Black voices at the center of this movement, and the urgent work of reform. I appreciate Governor Brown’s leadership in this discussion and her willingness to step in with State resources.
The Governor and I agree: Oregon resources, expertise, and values are sufficient to manage Oregon issues.
