KATE BROWN: The protests in support of racial equity and police accountability started many weeks ago, 100 days ago. For those who have experienced racism and discrimination firsthand, I know that slow and steady progress toward justice doesn't feel fast enough. It isn't. Like many of you, I too am angry that Black and brown Oregonians continue to fear for their lives and for their families.

There needs to be a community-wide effort to stop the violence, because the violence must stop. Period. So we must do both things. We must be tireless in our pursuit of racial justice. We must be tireless in our pursuit of accountability for law enforcement. And we must also work together with responsible law enforcement to end violence and arson in Portland. And this needs to happen immediately.
