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.

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.
