Envisioning a Reconnected Albina starts with community voice.

Portlanders, join us for a continuing conversation to help shape the future of Lower Albina through the Reconnecting Albina Planning Project. This workshop will build on what residents have already shared and create space for deeper dialogue about the opportunities and challenges ahead.

Together, we will explore new and updated concepts for streets, buildings, open space, and connections that support a vibrant neighborhood rooted in community life, culture, and equity. Attendees will also engage in facilitated discussions on topics such as connectivity, development, community history, and identity.

As we continue to celebrate Women’s History Month, we recognize the legacy of Mary Church Terrell, a pioneering educator, activist, and leader in the fight for racial and gender justice.

As one of the first Black women to earn a college degree and another co-founder of the NAACP, Mary Church Terrell dedicated her life to advancing the rights of Black Americans and women across the country. She was a powerful advocate for voting rights, education, and anti-discrimination efforts, using her voice and platform to challenge segregation and inequality.

Through her leadership in the National Association of Colored Women, she helped uplift the mission of “lifting as we climb,” centering community, education, and collective progress. Even later in life, she remained active in the fight for justice, including efforts to desegregate public spaces in Washington, D.C.

Mary Church Terrell’s legacy reminds us that progress is built through persistence, education, and a deep commitment to equity for all.

In honor of Women’s History Month, we lift up the legacy of Ida B. Wells, a fearless journalist, educator, and civil rights leader whose work helped lay the foundation for the fight against racial injustice in this country.

At a time when speaking the truth came with great personal risk, Ida B. Wells courageously exposed the brutality of lynching through investigative journalism. She challenged false narratives, demanded accountability, and called the nation to confront the reality of racial violence. Her writing and organizing helped spark national and international awareness, turning silence into action.

Beyond her anti-lynching campaign, she was a strong advocate for voting rights, education, and the advancement of Black women. As a co-founder of the NAACP, her legacy continues to shape the ongoing struggle for political, social, and economic equality.

Ida B. Wells showed us the power of truth, courage, and persistence. Her work reminds us that justice requires both voice and action.

Honoring the Life and Legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr.

A minister, organizer, and fearless advocate for justice, Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. was a steady and powerful force in the movement for Black freedom. He carried the Civil Rights Movement forward and broadened its reach to confront economic inequality, expand voting rights, advance labor justice, and defend human rights at home and abroad. Long before these conversations were widely embraced, he spoke boldly about structural racism, mass incarceration, economic injustice, and the global consequences of U.S. policy.

He challenged the nation to face uncomfortable truths and to live up to its democratic promise. His leadership reshaped American politics and opened doors for generations that followed. He reminded us that our communities do not seek charity, but power, dignity, and full participation.

May we carry forward his call for courage, coalition, and justice. Rest in power, Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr.

And for our final panelist, Tory Campbell, a dedicated community leader whose work centers Black empowerment, partnership, and long term investment in Portland’s future. As Vice President of Community Investment and Partnership at the 1803 Fund, Tory leads the Culture grantmaking portfolio which uplifts Black organizations and strengthens cultural resilience across the city. His deep roots in community organizing, along with his service as a Northeast Portland pastor, ground his leadership in connection, accountability, and collective care. Tory also supports the 1803 Fund’s partners through Real Asset Activation Engagement, helping communities build stability and sustainable wealth. We are honored to learn from his experience and vision at our December Fireside Chat on building generational wealth through real estate and relationship.
