We had to cancel the CAHC meeting this month because of the snow. The new meeting time is:

Thursday, January 5th at 2 pm

PCC – Cascade Campus
Student Union Building
Room 204 – Cascade Room
(For directions: CLICK HERE)
Among other items, we will be discussing the possibility of declaring Oregon a “Hate-Free Zone” as was done in Washington this week.

We hope to see you there. Happy holidays!

Thanks to the snow, PCC will be closed Thursday, 12/15, so we will have to reschedule our Coalition Against Hate Crime meeting. I apologize for any inconvenience. We will try to get a new meeting date out you as soon as possible.

 Please think about these two questions before we meet:
1. How can we encourage people across the state to report hate crimes and incidents to the appropriate authorities?
2. How can we engage in outreach to communities who are the most vulnerable to hate crimes?
Thanks and hope you all have the day off Thursday.
Randy Blazak,
CAHC chair
