I sent this letter of condolences to the Consul-General of Japan in Portland, but there are many ways to help the victims in Japan and to express your support and solidarity with those that lost loved ones this horrific past week.

You can donate online at the American Red Cross or Mercy Corps.

You can sign a condolences book at the Consul-General's office this afternoon from 2-4PM:

You can attend a vigil in Pioneer Courthouse Square this evening from 6-8PM where organizers will be collecting donations for Mercy Corps for relief efforts in Japan. Event info and additional vigils here.
