CCC Statements :: Juneteenth & DACA

Juneteenth, for African Americans, is known as Independence Day or Freedom Day and is a holiday commemorating the June 19, 1865 announcement of the abolition of slavery and the emancipation of African American slaves. While President Abraham Lincoln had issued the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation effectively ending slavery on January 1, 1863, that Proclamation had little effect in Texas until two and a half years later.

The Staff and Board of the Coalition of Communities of Color (CCC) would like to lift up the Black community in Oregon and the United States, honor the sacrifice of all those who endured such unjust and immoral bondage and echo and reaffirm the rising crescendo of those declaring that, in fact, and always, Black Lives Matter.

We at CCC have chosen to use Juneteenth as a day of reflection, inquiry, and gratitude for the gifts that those who have passed before us have bestowed upon us: the opportunity to breathe free. Although we work daily for culturally specific organizations and the underserved, we believe we still have much to learn about anti-black racism and other inequities. Juneteenth is our pause to continue the journey. We hope all can take a moment or two for reflection, as well.

This day also reminds us that we have an obligation to continue to fight for justice, whether it is the civil rights movement of the ’50s and ’60s, the right to vote, the right to be counted in the Census, the right to fair housing and strong education, or the battle for the DREAMers today.

We especially want to acknowledge and lift up on Juneteenth all of the hard working African American and Black Led organizations that are part of our Coalition, and that labor for this community every day: Africa House, KairosPDX, Portland African American Leadership Forum (PAALF), Portland Community Reinvestment Initiative (PCRI), Self Enhancement Inc. (SEI), Unite Oregon, and the Urban League of Portland.

Juneteenth in Oregon can be a day to remember that, even in a state where slavery was illegal, other actions can be almost as unfair and debilitating to the advancement of a people’s progress. Whether it is exclusion laws, lack of access to land, an annual tax for just being of color, being excluded from the vote, a ban on interracial marriage, or insurance surcharges for drivers of color, and we must remain steadfast to our values and continue to battle for all of our communities. As long as we keep fighting, we are truly emancipated.

Happy Juneteenth, Oregon.

DREAMers and families were finally given some relief yesterday, June 18th, with the U.S. Supreme Court decision to block the Trump administration’s attempt of ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The ruling impacts approximately 650,000 DACA recipients nationwide, and 11,000 of those recipients are here in Oregon. This decision is the result of the hard work of our Latinx, immigrant & refugee, and BIPOC communities who organized, mobilized, and with hope as a North Star, believed that even our most radical dreams for a better life could come true.

La lucha sigue, (our fight continues), though. The Supreme Court has not banned the Trump administration from ending DACA.  Communities across the country continue to mobilize and demand systemic changes to policing and community & public safety. The CCC and our members will continue to advocate for student safety in the classroom, on the way to school. We will continue to advocate against police & ICE presence in schools. We will continue to advocate for the accessibility of quality education & economic opportunities for DACA, undocumented, immigrant and refugee, and BIPOC students.

We appreciate the work of all of our member organizations, through their commitment to elevating community voices & addressing their needs. We want to especially acknowledge and recognize the dedicated efforts of Latino Network, IRCO, APANO, Voz Workers’ Rights Education Project, Hacienda CDC, Milagro Theater, and Verde.

We call on our federal delegation to pressure the Trump Administration to respect the decision of the Supreme Court, end its futile attempts to terminate the program, and ensure that USCIS does not share information with ICE about DACA recipients and their families. We call on our federal delegation to listen to the voices of the DREAMers and accelerate efforts to manifest their visions for their long-term status.

HOME IS HERE!

We Can't Breathe - An Open Letter to Community

May 29, 2020 

TO: An Open Letter to Community — Portland, Oregon, United States of America

FROM: Marcus C. Mundy, Executive Director, Coalition of Communities of Color 

RE:  We Can’t Breathe

Eric Garner could not breathe.  George Floyd could not breathe.  I cannot breathe.

I, my brothers, my son, my cousins, my friends – Black men all – watched in abject, stultifying horror this week as yet another Black man died at the hands of yet another policeman in yet another video broadcast to the world as if it were some rerun detached from reality.  It was not detached from reality.  It is reality. Our daily, inescapable reality as Black men in America.

We know all the victims’ names by now.  We know the outcomes.  We all know, step by inexorable step, the Kabuki theater that ensues after each such incident, the choreographed recitation of the injustice. The video is shared; the indignation is palpable; the protests begin; the lawyers go on television;usually, the perpetrators are not punished; the laws don’t change; police training doesn’t change; the cycle begins again…

Many tears were shed as we collectively and individually watched replays, on the daily news no less, of the very life oozing out of a man who looked just like us, right in front of our eyes.  Such frequency of these events, I believe, attempts to numb us to its harshness, but:  it cannot, not for Black men or those who love us.  Our mere existence in the world as Black men should not evoke such rage from others, and such callous indifference for human life should evoke outrage, not just from Black people, but from all people.

I would trade a million virtue-signaling lawn signs stating “Black Lives Matter” and “In Our America, Love Wins” for a single day of those epigrams being realized.  Arbery, Bland, and Cooper must not be the ABCs of Black life in America.  They should be our societal wake-up call.  

As the Mayor of Minneapolis reminded us, “If you had done it or I had done it we would be behind bars right now.”  But it wasn’t the mayor, or me, or you; it was a craven Minneapolis “peace officer” who committed this incomprehensible act as his three equally culpable and enabling colleagues looked on. No charges filed, investigation underway.  So here we go again.

Fannie Lou Hamer once plaintively said, over 50 years ago, “…I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.”  She was speaking about civil rights then, but that phrase should apply to all of us right now, especially when it comes to the incessant, inhuman ways that Black men are treated in America.  This person violated not just the civil rights Ms. Hamer was speaking of, but the most essential human right:  the right to live.

After witnessing the replay of the slow motion demise of George Floyd, many of us feel horror; but that horror no longer means anything without action.  Our bromides and platitudes and good intentions and righteous indignation, however heartfelt, are as a flatus in the wind unless we are prepared to work for change, and respectfully demand that change.

I reflected today that the mission of the Coalition of Communities of Color (CCC) is to “address the socioeconomic disparities, institutional racism and inequity of services experienced by our families, children and communities; and to organize our communities for collective action resulting in social change to obtain self-determination, wellness, justice and prosperity.”  If little else is clear, institutional racism and inequity of services are real, and evidenced in the treatment of George Floyd.  We must see what is happening in the world and, with our mission in mind, commit ourselves to action.

We must, and immediately: 

• work to remove any policies on our existing jurisdictions’ books similar to those in Minneapolis, which may permit the use of the procedure used to kill George Floyd;

• work to facilitate and codify the implementation of suggestions developed by groups such as the Portland Police Reform Network, the Albina Ministerial Alliance Coalition for Justice and Police Reform, etc., in a formalized process;

• work to strengthen the Independent Police Review Division and the Citizen Review Committee, with the goal of adding power to compel testimony;

• seek to facilitate and codify change in Oregon State Statutes, as appropriate, for use of deadly force by officers;

• work to have jurisdictions commit to training/retraining all law enforcement officers on proper use of force decision making matrices;

• work to have jurisdictions commit to explicit, comprehensive Diversity, Equity, Inclusion training for all law enforcement officers, as well as heightened de-escalation training;

• work to seek and acquire a commitment from all police unions, governmental leaders and officers in Oregon to condemn illegal or immoral behavior from police officers

The CCC urges all of you to take the steps we have outlined, with us.  There is more than one pandemic raging in America, and none will be solved without collective action.

Join us.  Help us end the reruns of “Another Black Man Killed Today Show”.  

Join us.  Help us breathe again.

“The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.”

—  Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

What happens to a dream deferred? 

Does it dry up

like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore—

And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over—

like a syrupy sweet?

 Maybe it just sags

like a heavy load. 

Or does it explode?

“Harlem”, Langston Hughes

Alumni Spotlights

Shilo George, Oregon LEAD Program

Shilo George

Owner & Consultant, Łush Kumtux Tumtum Consulting

In 2017, Shilo George graduated from the 9th cohort of the Native American Youth and Family Center’s (NAYA) Oregon LEAD program. As a current member of the BRIDGES-Metro Community Partnership Program, owner and consultant of Łush Kumtux Tumtum Consulting, and Parent Involvement Advocate with NAYA, her leadership has broad and deep impacts our communities of color.

She is grateful for her experiences with her cohort, appreciates the new skills she developed and especially cherishes the opportunity to meet amazing and inspirational Indigenous leaders.

Last October, Shilo joined the BRIDGES-Metro Community Partnership Program (Metro Pilot), a collaboration between the Coalition of Communities of Color and Metro, a regional planning authority. When asked why she applied to the Metro Pilot, Shilo responded that she wanted to use her educational privilege to support and help heal American Indian and Native Alaskan community and all marginalized communities. She further acknowledged that despite having over 20 years of community service experience in a variety of settings and an advanced degree, she still faced many barriers to career advancement and civic engagement in decision-making spaces. Since joining the Metro Pilot, her enthusiasm, wisdom, and commitment to removing systemic barriers that limit our communities. As owner and consultant for her business, Łush Kumtux Tumtum Consulting—pronounced: thlush comeducks dumbdumb, a Chinuk Wawa phrase meaning "a great awakening of the heart and spirit"—Shilo will soon be facilitating a work session for Metro employees that will cover trauma-informed practices for diversity, equity, and inclusion. She also recently joined a panel consisting of Metro’s community partners and spoke to Metro’s communications staff on best practices for engaging with our communities. During this panel, Shilo articulated a number of meaningful insights.

Shilo’s civic leadership is informed by her work as a Parent Involvement Advocate at NAYA.  Through bridge building between parents, teachers and administrators, and external services she provides direct support to Native American families as they develop skills, knowledge, and abilities to ensure their children succeed in the educational system, heal from personal and historical trauma, and dismantle systems of oppression.

Dr. Connie Kim Yen Nguyen-Truong, Asian Pacific Islander Community Leadership Institute (API-CLI)

Dr. Connie Kim Yen Nguyen-Truong

Assistant Professor at Washington State University College of Nursing in Vancouver

Please join us in extending congratulations toDr. Connie Kim Yen Nguyen-Truong, API-CLI Alum from Cohort I, who was recently awarded the R. Davilene Carter Presidential Prize for Best Manuscript from the American Association for Cancer Education!

Dr. Nguyen-Truong led community-based participatory research from the Vietnamese Women's Health Project in partnership with the Immigrant & Refugee Community Organization’s Asian Family Centerand community-at-large on disparities in cancer screening. She was the primary author of the highly regarded manuscript. Co-authors were Ms. Chiao-Yun Hsiao, BS, a former program coordinator with IRCO’s Asian Family Center and field organizer with APANO in Portland, and Ms. Victoria Demchak, MRP, was previously a policy coordinator with APANO. The hard work and perseverance of these three professionals have a lasting impact on our communities.

When asked about how her experience in the API-CLI program influences her work, Connie replied:

“I am grateful for my community leadership experience in API-CLI. I learned about policy advocacy and cultivating individual and empowerment as a collective. I was the only nurse scientist member on the Oregon Data Equity Coalition for House Bill 2134 - Data Equity Bill, and it was the first time the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon led a bill. Being actively involved in the community-based policy engagement process was memorable. I worked closely with Ms. Victoria Demchak, MRP, who was the Policy Coordinator, and Ms. Chiao-Yun Hsiao, BS, who was the Field Organizer, as it was my first time writing and delivering a research-based testimony to policy makers on the cervical cancer screening and health disparity findings from the Vietnamese Women’s Health Project community-based participatory studies. I was the Principal Investigator working in partnership with the Immigrant & Refugee Community Organization and Asian Family Center. My community action project as an API-CLI Senior Fellow is on science outreach and community advocacy in disseminating through publishing with community and academic partners, which promotes visibility for the work we have done and sharing that so that others can learn. Thus, winning the global R. Davilene Carter Presidential Prize for Best Manuscript Award from the American Association of Cancer Education is an incredible, prestigious honor for the highest standard in cancer education.”

The paper will also be published in a scientific journal - Progress in Community Health Partnerships: Research, Education, and Action). Please read more about Connie’s meaningful workon Washington State University’s College of Nursing site.

Dr. Connie Kim Yen Nguyen-Truong, PhD, RN, Alumnus PCCN, is an appointed Senior Advisor member of the API-CLI Steering Committee, an elected Co-Chair of the Immigrant & Refugee Community Organization (IRCO) Asian Family Center Advisory Board, and an elected member on the IRCO Board of Directors. She is an Assistant Professor at Washington State University College of Nursing in Vancouver. She is Asian American and Vietnamese bilingual, bicultural. Being a Nurse Scientist and an Educator, she is committed to excellence in conducting community-based participatory and community-engaged research with community and academic partners to improve the health of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans. She has a combined 18 years of expertise and experience in clinical nursing and population health nursing and a decade of engagement with communities of color including immigrants and refugees since 2006, as a nurse scientist, volunteer nurse clinician, a collaborator at several health outreach events, and leadership advisory roles at community-based organizations.

Calling voters across Portland is a crucial step to ensure that we win on November 6.

Pizza, snacks, and a training will be provided, so newcomers and first-time phone-bankers are warmly welcome! This is your movement! Sign up here.

CANVASS FOR THE PORTLAND CLEAN ENERGY INITIATIVE AND NO ON MEASURE 105! 

Everyone is joining forces to knock, talk, and change the world! 

Going door-to-door to talk to voters (canvassing) is proven to be the most effective way to spread a campaign message and win. Training is provided, so newcomers and first-time canvassers are warmly welcome! Over the next few days we will canvass on PCEI and to stop statewide Ballot Measure 105 (M105).

Measure 105 eliminates Oregon’s existing sanctuary law that reduces racial profiling and prevents misuse of local resources from being used to enforce federal immigration law. By repealing Oregon’s 30 year old sanctuary law, this measure directly attacks communities of color and immigrants. It will make our communities less safe, open the door to racial profiling, and result in more families being torn apart.

Plan to meet at campaign headquarters, which is at Sierra Club (1821 SE Ankeny St., Portland). But on Saturday, canvassers will meet somewhere in the field; you will receive details about where and when to meet when you sign up!

Monday, Nov. 5 (ALL DAY) — THREE SHIFTS!

• 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Tuesday, Nov. 6: ALL DAY BALLOT COLLECTION — THREE SHIFTS!

• 10:00 am - 1:00 pm OR 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm OR 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm
