Migrant communities distrust Oregon's drinking water, report finds | State

SALEM â A report from the Oregon Water Futures Project reveals widespread distrust in drinking water among communities of color and a sharp disconnect between communities and policymakers when it comes to water policy.
Oregon Water Futures Project staff began interviewing members of Native, Latinx, Black and migrant communities across the state in 2020, attempting to understand their water resource priorities. Partnering with Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste, Euvalcree, Unite Oregon, Verde, NAACP Eugene-Springfield, and the Chinook Indian Nation, 104 people across eight counties were able to participate.
According to the report, climate change, aging infrastructure and a lack of investment in clean water has stressed the stateâs water systems, disproportionately risking the health, safety and economy of Oregonâs rural and low-income communities of color.

FUNDING: Following the investments and cuts to local police work

[What follows is part two of a five-part series on the progress Portland has made on police reform over the past year. Read the rest here.—eds] The beginning of last year’s protests coincided with City Council’s deliberations on the city budget, a vote that determines Portland Police Bureau's (PPB) funding for the year. Of the nearly 800 people who signed up to testify on the city budget in June 2020, the majority of them echoed...

OUTLOOK: What's next for police reforms and protests?

[What follows is part five of a five-part series on the progress Portland has made on police reform over the past year. Read the rest here.—eds]
The movement that kicked local police reform efforts into gear last May is far from over. For many activists who invested months into organizing in 2020, the past year’s wins aren’t satisfactory.
“We’re not even remotely close to where we should be,” said Darren Golden, a former member of the activist organization Rose City Justice, which led many of the early summer marches. “But that’s expected. I think a lot of people believe that it is easy to change the system of policing, and you can just tear it down. It’s not that easy—that investment takes time. If you remove a support system and don’t support the system you removed, it’s going to fall. And the people that are hurt most are the ones that need the most help.”

Guest View: Addressing issues of water justice

Alaí Reyes-Santos, Haley Case-Scott, and Jairaj Singh
In fall 2020, the Oregon Water Futures project spoke with community members from Clatsop to the Willamette Valley to Malheur and Umatilla about water. Native, Indigenous Latin American, Latinx, Black, Southeast Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, Arab and Somali community members shared stories illustrating culturally specific ways of interacting with drinking water and bodies of water, concerns around water quality and cost, resiliency in the face of challenges to access water resources essential for physical, emotional and spiritual health, and a desire for water resource education and to be better equipped to advocate for water resources.

Last year the Oregon Water Futures Project, in partnership with Unite Oregon, the Chinook Indian Nation, and other organizations, conducted a series of water-focused conversations with Native, Black, Latinx, and migrant communities around the state to learn about their cultural connections to water and their concerns when it comes to water education, access, and advocacy. And
earlier this weekÂ OWF released a report of their findings from those conversations to Oregon policy- and decision-makers.

After a year of Portland protests, activists see no end in sight

When Margaret Carter reflects on police, she remembers the 1970s, when officers in North Portland planted marijuana in people’s cars and arrested them. Since then, said Carter — the first Black woman elected to the Oregon Legislature — little has changed to restore trust between Black Portlanders and police officers. And continued police killings of Black Americans have only exacerbated these ...
