Join Go Lloyd and community partners to learn about our achievements in the past year and our vision for the year ahead.

Come discover what we accomplished in 2024 and where we’re headed in 2025 and beyond! Reconnect with neighbors, meet new friends, and engage with the important work being done in our neighborhood.

With presentations from Go Lloyd, Lloyd EcoDistrict, Lloyd Community Association, and Lloyd ESD (Enhanced Services District).

Drinks and light refreshments will be served.

We will be collecting donated items on behalf of Right 2 Dream Too (R2DToo). Any of the following items would be greatly appreciated: socks, sleeping bags, large coats, large men’s pants, and rain ponchos. Thank you for your support.

Come meet some of the oldest residents of Lloyd on this informative group walk!

We will gather in Holladay Park and first learn how to ID a tree together—noting important details like leaf shape, bark grain, and more. Then, take the opportunity to test your new skills and get to know our leafy neighbors!

Finally, time permitting, we will take a short walk to Lloyd’s own Heritage tulip tree on the corner of NE 15th and Weidler and learn a little bit about Heritage Trees and why they matter.

If you are interested in joining, please send us an email to ensure we have enough handouts for everyone to take one home! Can’t wait to see you!

Join our community partners, the Lloyd EcoDistrict, for the Keaton Otis Vigil each month on the 12th from 6 to 7 PM at the intersection of NE Halsey Street & NE 6th Avenue in Lloyd.

Keaton Otis was a young Black man killed by the Portland police on May 12, 2010 in Lloyd in 2010 at NE 6th and NE Halsey. The police admitted they stopped him for “looking like a gangster.” Keaton’s father Fred Bryant started the monthly vigil on the 12th of the month after his son’s murder on the spot where Keaton’s life was taken. Fred Bryant did this for over three years, fighting for justice for his son, every single month in the rain, the dark, the heat, and the snow. Fred Bryant passed away on October 29, 2013.

His family and community have committed to continuing the vigils every month on the 12th, until justice is achieved for Keaton, for Fred, and for our whole community.

Since 2019 Lloyd EcoDistrict has been working with the Black-led Justice for Keaton Otis collective to memorialize the life of Keaton Otis. Join community members at the corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey on the 12th of every month at 6:00 PM to remember Keaton and call for justice.

About Sullivan’s Gulch Cup O’ Sugar

You have needs. You also have skills. So do we and the rest of our neighbors. Wouldn’t it be nice to help each other out?

We’re creating a hyper-local mutual aid group called Cup O’ Sugar and, as a neighbor, would love for you to be part of it with us.

We have a form that gives us a quick view of what folks need and can offer so we can start connecting neighbors. If you want help in the garden or need someone to look at that weird sound from your refrigerator, we can connect you with a neighbor or mutual aid group who can help.

We will have gatherings where we exchange clothes/food/books/etc, hold workshops, and get to know the neighborhood – maybe find your new knitting circle or jam band – hope to see you there!
