We’re excited to continue the 9th annual Black Liberation Ride in 2024 - a community bike ride for Black + Brown Portlanders, hosted on Saturday, June 15th, in observance of Juneteenth - aka the celebration of the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved African - aka Black Independence Day! This ride is a moment to come together, take up space, and celebrate in solidarity by riding around Portland. This ride is centered around the Black / Brown community.
