Brown Hope is a Portland-based nonprofit organization in the civic and social sectors that focuses on advancing justice for Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities in Oregon. Founded in 2018, the group aims to advance trauma-informed activism by creating spaces for community building, empowerment, and healing from racism. Its programs, including the Black Resilience Fund, Equity & Beyond, Blackstreet Bakery, and Power Hour, address community needs and support resilience, paired with initiatives that foster local leadership and collaboration. The organization serves residents of Oregon and operates with a small team, offering programs that partner with local communities and Black, Brown, and Indigenous people to transform everyday experiences of discrimination into more tangible access to justice. A notable development in its recent history includes the hiring of Cameron Whitten as CEO in late 2022. While Brown Hope functions within the broader landscape of civil and human rights organizations, its local focus centers on community-grounded efforts and trauma-informed approaches to activism.
