[Comm-partners] Oregon Bias Response Hotline

[D5 Equity and Inclusion]

Hello all!!

Johanna Costa, Civil Rights Hotline Coordinator with the Oregon Department of Justice, has an important message to share addressing bias in Oregon!! Please share with your networks!

[You Belong. heart logo. One Oregon. Together Against Hate.]The Oregon Department of Justice Civil Rights Unit (CRU) has officially launched its “You Belong.” campaign—a culturally and linguistically inclusive, statewide public outreach effort—to increase awareness of Oregon’s Bias Response Hotline<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.doj.state.or.us/oregon-department-of-justice/civil-rights/bias-and-hate/__;!!C5qS4YX3!F_TG9uesy3GiHjPIcZmqjMYTSrTR3cANsu4CZbBXQMqIhfNueHLFJLEScHs0U8DXTrGbZTmMzS7CWp-62e5v$> as a crucial resource in the fight against the continued rise of hate crimes and bias incidents in Oregon.

We want to share this valuable information with you to pass along to your communities and contacts across the state.  Here is the You Belong. toolkit<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.doj.state.or.us/oregon-department-of-justice/civil-rights/bias-and-hate/you-belong-toolkit/__;!!C5qS4YX3!F_TG9uesy3GiHjPIcZmqjMYTSrTR3cANsu4CZbBXQMqIhfNueHLFJLEScHs0U8DXTrGbZTmMzS7CWvjdBPgq$> for sharing with community members and on your own platforms, which includes social media copy and graphics, language translations, our PSAs, and more.  You may see our statewide billboards, bus ads, and online ads over the next few months as you go about your day.

Please consider sharing this information with your network and anyone who may be interested or in need of the Bias Response Hotline resources, or even just a message to say You Belong.

Thank you for your time, support and consideration. Please reach out to Johanna Costa if you have any questions about this campaign.  As always, the Hotline (1-844-924-BIAS/2427, StandAgainstHate.Oregon.gov<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.doj.state.or.us/oregon-department-of-justice/bias-crimes/about-the-law/__;!!C5qS4YX3!F_TG9uesy3GiHjPIcZmqjMYTSrTR3cANsu4CZbBXQMqIhfNueHLFJLEScHs0U8DXTrGbZTmMzS7CWgKkGVwz$>) is the best place to report a hate crime or bias incident (vs. sending me an email).
