Cycling Against Hate

Last week, a racially motivated hate crime was perpetrated against a family in NE Portland. The family, which includes three children, has been slowly picking up the pieces – but this is not something anyone should have to experience. Join a community bike ride to stand in solidarity with the family, in their neighborhood, and show that love conquers hate. Kiddos welcome and encouraged! Free, facebook.com/events/332566740421931
