We are bringing back the Community Peace Collaborative (CPC) as a step toward creating a holistic community engagement strategy. The kick-off event will be held Tuesday, October 15 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Office of Violence Prevention’s Mississippi Avenue office space.
This first meeting will be an opportunity for community members to stay informed about ongoing gun violence prevention efforts, network with local organizations and nonprofits, and collaborate on solutions to reduce gun violence in our community. Current OVP contractors and grantees will be present to share the work they do in the community.
We will also want to take this opportunity to hear from you what you'd like to see from our CPC meetings, including any particular topics or speakers. CPCs will be hosted monthly so please join us for this first event and share with us what you want to gain from these events in the future. You can RSVP using our Eventbrite link here.
Please reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas about the office: OVP@portlandoregon.gov.
