The West Linn Alliance
Celebrating Diversity and Promoting Inclusion
We are neighbors working together with local government, schools, organizations, and businesses to make West Linn a safe and welcoming community for all.
The West Linn Alliance recognizes that we continue to see hate-related incidents in West Linn. We know these incidents are not representative of our community as a whole, and we urge West Linn residents to stand against such actions and promote an environment where all people are welcome in our community. We believe everyone who decides to live or work in our community should be able to do so without being subjected to acts of bias, prejudice, or hate.
