AfroVillage Movement
The AfroVillage is more than a physical space, it is a movement rooted in the vision of Portland community member and activist Laquida Landford. The movement focuses on addressing the needs of our most vulnerable population — unhoused individuals — with a focus on racial disparities and inequalities. Through a variety of initiatives and events, including Old Town Fresh and Sneaker Week in Downtown Portland, AfroVillage provides a variety of critical services to community members and has started important conversations around fundamental basic needs such as hygiene and sanitation, food scarcity, and mental and physical health.
