Multilingual Community Connections
English, Russian, Somali, Spanish and Vietnamese
Through speaking with over a dozen existing gatherings about this project, holding five community conversations in English, Russian, Somali, Spanish and Vietnamese with our community partners, and having over 1,000 people participate in A Survey of Civic Life, Civic Life has been Gathering Perspectives and Adding Voices.
Join Us! Civic Life is hosting a multilingual community party for Portlanders to come together over great food, view the collected community input and see how this input is shaping the work of Civic Life.
Connect with the many communities that we are engaging, learn from one another and see how the intentional process of updating the city code that defines the work of our bureau is so much greater from gathering perspectives from a rich cross-section of Portlanders.
