In communities across Oregon, people are targeted based on their race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, language, housing status, sexual orientation or gender identity—in the streets, in our schools and in our own neighborhoods. 

Oregon is one of eight states that does not currently ban profiling. We have no way for people to report cases of profiling, no system for documenting incidents, no data to track the scale of the problem, and no tools to maintain accountability. Right now, each law enforcement agency is left to decide their own definition and process on profiling. 

HB2002 was introduced by the Center for Intercultural Organizing and is being championed by a broad coalition of community partners throughout Oregon. Our partners at a Fair Shot For All includes Family Forward Oregon, SEIU, AFL-CIO, AFSCME, Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon, Basic Rights Oregon, CAUSA, Center for Intercultural Organizing, Oregon Education Association, PCUN, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon, Rural Organizing Project, UFCW, LULAC, and the Urban League of Portland, Oregon. Our priorities are at the center of the economic debate happening both in Oregon, throughout our local communities and on a national stage. Together, we are mobilizing Oregonians and giving a voice to those who need a fair shot.

Profiling occurs in every part of the state and impacts many different communities, but we still lack a coordinated state policy to address it. Please add your name to stand up against profiling in Oregon.
