Passionate about restorative justice? Brown Hope, Lutheran Community Services NW, and the Restorative Roots Project are co-hosting a Restorative Justice Meet and Greet with Multnomah County Candidates!

October 13
6–8 p.m
Leaven Community Center (5431 NE 20th Ave, Portland, OR 97211)

This event will provide an opportunity for Multnomah County residents and community leaders to connect with candidates running for Multnomah County Chair and Multnomah County Commissioner: District 2.

We want to hear from aspiring elected leaders about their vision and priorities for our communities, and specifically what they understand about restorative justice as an integral part of Multnomah County’s justice system and how they can champion restorative justice policies and funding as an elected official.

Most of this event will involve casual conversation between candidates and attendees, but there will be a “roll call” for all candidates to introduce themselves and talk about their campaign.
