Since we lost our brother and colleague Cayle Tern, so many of you have reached out asking how you can help.

Join us this Thursday from 6:00 to 8pm, we're gathering at CORE Food Carts in SE Portland for our monthly APANO Action Fund happy hour dedicated to honor Cayle's life and legacy. These happy hours were one of the many things that Cayle worked on during his time at APANO. He truly enjoyed every opportunity he had to connect with others.

You don't need to have known Cayle personally to belong here. If you're able to give to his family's fundraiser, we'd be grateful. If you can only show up and listen, that matters too.

We'd love it if you RSVP'd to our gathering so we can have a headcount: bit.ly/AFMay28HH 🕊️

One of Cayle's final efforts was organizing a town hall with Congresswoman Maxine Dexter to bring visibility to the rising ICE targetting of Laotian and Southeast Asians in Oregon. Cayle was truly instrumental to APANO's Action Fund work, and wanted our community to be informed, protected and empowered.

Cayle Tern, a Reynolds School District board director and APANO civic engagement manager, died last week, leading to a flood of public condolences.

Shoutout to NWHF for showing up for our communities and our democracy!

In this moment, Northwest Health Foundation is doubling down (or some may say leveling up) for the democracy we deserve. Our foundation will give $3 million more than usual over the next three years, investing it directly in existing efforts already underway to keep the promise of a government by an
