The rate at which Black Americans are killed by police is more than twice as high as the rate for white Americans. This is a non-comprehensive list of deaths at the hands of police in the U.S. since Eric Garner's death in July 2014. LA Johnson/NPR

Central City Concern stands with the demonstrators, here in Portland and across the nation, to call attention and demand action against injustice and brutality inflicted upon Black people, and all communities of color. Law enforcement and our entire public safety system must be accountable for actions that continue to target and harm Black, Indigenous and people of color. We stand with our communities and their rights to be safely housed, healthy and free.
