Beaverton parents organize peaceful demonstration

June 1, 2020

After tense nights of civil unrest in neighboring Portland, Desiree Williams-Rajee and fellow members of the Beaverton Black Parent Union weren't sure what kind of crowd to expect at Southridge High School on Sunday afternoon, May 31.

The demonstration drew officials from the Beaverton School District, the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District, and others, including U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici and Beaverton mayoral candidate Lacey Beaty.
