Los Angeles County operates the largest jail system in the United States, which incarcerates more people than any other nation on Earth. At a cost of nearly $1 billion annually, more than 20,000 people are caged every night in L.A.’s county jails and city lockups. But not every neighborhood is equally impacted by L.A.’s massive jail system. In fact, L.A.’s nearly billion-dollar jail budget is largely committed to incarcerating many people from just a few neighborhoods. In some communities, more than one-million dollars is spent annually on incarceration. These are L.A.’s Million Dollar Hoods.
Led by Prof. Kelly Lytle Hernández, the Million Dollar Hoods (MDH) research team maps and monitors how much local authorities spend on locking up residents in L.A.’s Million Dollar Hoods. Led by Black and Brown women and driven by formerly-incarcerated persons as well as residents of Million Dollar Hoods, the MDH team also provides the only full and public account of the leading causes of arrest in Los Angeles, revealing that drug possession and DUIs are the top booking charges in L.A.’s Million Dollar Hoods. Collectively, this data counters the popular misunderstanding that incarceration advances public safety by removing violent, serious offenders from the streets. In fact, local authorities are investing millions in locking up the County’s most economically vulnerable, geographically isolated, and racially marginalized populations for drug and alcohol-related crimes. This talk provides an introduction to the Million Dollar Hoods project, method, and impact.

accomplishments of our city’s diverse artists, community
advocates, and mutual aid groups. Our goal: to boldly awaken
downtown by showcasing the power of community strength,
creativity, and unity while not ignoring the very real change the
streets of Portland’s downtown have seen in the last two years.

outdoors leaders designed Paseo to honor and amplify the
creativity and resilience of Portland’s diverse communities in
the heart of our city.
Join us for the next three weeks as we explore fresh perspectives on confronting organized bigotry and share tools you can use right away to join the fight for our democracy.
This conversation is for white people to reflect together on what it means to “do our work” as white people, which includes taking responsibility for one another, educating ourselves, and coming to view other white people as our partners—not competition—in developing antiracist identity.

We are back again at OES in SW Portland, starting at 9:45 with kids and the 5k to follow at 10:15!
Every spring, multiple Southwest Portland Faith Organizations and Community Partners join hands to meet the need of hunger specifically, by working to supply Neighborhood House’s food pantry, the largest food pantry west of the Willamette. This joint effort is known as the Southwest Hope Campaign. Since 2016, Missio Church has organized the SW Hope 5k as a culmination of the greater campaign.
What can $1 buy me at a grocery store? One, maybe two, canned goods at the most. For $1, Neighborhood House can buy 4 pounds of food directly from Oregon Food Bank. We quickly realized we could turn a simple canned food drive into a huge tool to empower Neighborhood House and reach hundreds more hungry neighbors.
This is where you come in. We invite you to run with us in our fifth annual SW Hope Feed the Hungry 5K because each $1 we raise together far outweighs it’s worth in canned goods individually. If we run together, our neighbors here in SW Portland won’t have to experience the insecurity of not knowing where their next meal is coming from.
This fair is organized to support meaningful one on one conversations and provide part-time, summer, and internship/jobs and volunteer opportunities for students!
20+ Employers
Students, faculty, and staff: you are invited to participate in a Community Dialogue on the topic of the L&C Pioneer Mascot. These conversations will kick off the presidential Community Dialogues initiative.

Help prep a local camp for the next emergency shelters we are setting up for houseless folks! Since, of course, the city isn’t going to help our vulnerable neighbors, we, the community, can step up! The government forces people to sleep on the ground in wet, cold, and muddy conditions even though there are 31 empty dwellings for everyone 1 houseless person.
We know that this is unacceptable, so we will be building emergency shelters to meet the needs of people where they’re at.
Our mission will be prepping open land at the camp for our next emergency shelters.
