The Portland Timbers and Portland Thorns FC put out “Educate. Elevate. Engage.” on social media to give ways “to do your part in standing up to racism.”

Educate. Elevate. Engage.

Supporting our Black communities needs to be more than just one day, one month, or one year. It needs to happen every single day.

In the link referenced in the two tweets, the Timbers and Thorns reference “Educate. Elevate. Engage.” as three words that can “be a roadmap for the path forward in the fight against racism.”

The site gives ways you can educate yourself on social justice issues, elevate the “voices of others around you” and engage “to understand the issues and different viewpoints.”
