We’re only a few days away from PHAME’s Disability Joy Block Party, sponsored by fellow SMJ client, Kuni Foundation!

1 WEEK AWAY!

Southeast Ladd is about to come alive with music, color, and art. 🎉

Disability Joy Block Party
📅 Sunday, July 19, 2026 | 11 AM–3 PM
📍 2446 SE Ladd Ave, Portland (car-free block party!)

Get ready for live sets from PHAME musicians, dancers, and our comedy troupe, DJ Lamar spinning tunes, local food trucks, hands-on art with community organizations from across Portland, and joy at every corner. ASL interpretation and a low-sensory quiet room keep it accessible for all.

A huge thank you to our sponsor, Kuni Foundation, for powering this event and helping us celebrate!

A great reminder from American Leadership Forum of Oregon to check in with a friend!

TOMORROW is ALF's Annual Check on Your Buddy Day! In a time when so many across our country are feeling uncertainty, strain, and deep change, leadership rooted in connection matters more than ever.

This is a great opportunity to reconnect with your ALF Buddy in whatever way works best for you. You could send a text, schedule a call, or meet up for coffee. So reach out and make a plan to connect on June 17th!
