On a sunny Tuesday morning, Terry Johnson, chief executive officer of Boys and Girls Club in Northeast Portland, watched as workers attached boards over shattered windows and doors lining the front of the building. The night before, protesters calling for racial justice caused nearly $20,000 in damage to the club, which houses services for mostly Black and brown children and families in Portland.
“We totally understand the need to protest and all of the systemic issues that exist in our country around criminal justice reform, around police brutality and system oppression,” Johnson said. “But we ask protesters to make sure they’re considering our mission and the work we do in Black and brown communities, because our mission work is part of that protest.”
