It’s been a year since the CWP team began providing services remotely.

We have stood together, with our members and communities, throughout this difficult year marked by the pandemic, racism, violence and loss.

We stand today and always, with our Asian and Asian American staff and members who have experienced a spike in bias and racism since the pandemic started, and for whom yesterday's murder of 8 people, including 6 Asian American women in Atlanta, was re-traumatizing.

Anyone experiencing or witnessing incidents of hate and bias can report them at www.reporthatepdx.com, the Bias Response Hotline at 1-844-924-BIAS or at StandAgainstHate.Oregon.gov.
