Solidarity Squad
Solidarity Squad
Solidarity Squad is a Black-led movement, pooling our time, talents, and resources with our neighbors to build a grassroots, relationship-based network that listens and responds directly to our community’s needs.Our team works to address the needs of our community through means other than direct financial support. We manage incoming requests, connect folks with outside resources, match donations with needs, and coordinate pickup and delivery of in-kind donations. We connect volunteers providing services such as yard work or car repair with folks in our community. The Solidarity Squad network has proven that solutions for the community can come from within the community. Even in the hardest of times, we can work together to inspire solidarity, strength, resilience, and family.
We serve families and individuals. We are folks from different backgrounds in Portland working to build a relationship-based, solidarity network by listening and responding directly to folks' requests and needs. The community members we serve to experience a wide range of hardships that may include but are not limited to: the unexpected death of a loved one, escaping domestic violence, job loss, food Insecurity, houselessness, impacts of Covid, single-parent households, and effects of mental and emotional trauma.
