CELEBRATING OREGON'S AANHPI COMMUNITY ALL YEAR LONG

Hate spreads quickly when there is nothing to stop it. Whether it's the rise in the anti-Asian hate fueled by bigotry during the COVID-19 pandemic, or anti-Muslim hate catalyzed by the conflict in Gaza, communities of color in America are experiencing hate now more than ever. 

Our communities are living in fear and only we can stop it. Oregon Rises Above Hate is a collective of multiethnic and multiracial businesses, organizations and activists who are motivated to stop bigotry, racism and violence in our community. 

Our mission is to promote May as Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month and work to uplift the events of all AANHPI community groups. We want everyone in our community to feel safe, seen and respected.
