Timeline
Starting this afternoon at Peninsula Park:
ATTN ?: Today at 2pm at Peninsula park there is an event dedicated to ending gun violence. Many wonderful Black speakers and performers will be there. I am remembering what @cremebruleepdx posted, “The best thing you can do for Black people is to listen to them.” #PdxProtest pic.twitter.com/ecYtU6XkdO

Peninsula park is packed full good vibes and sunshine. They got Fire on the Mountain wings (vegan options too), snacks and treats, and folks from @mendingbloc to help with all your sowing needs. Please come support Jaelin Scott’s family. #PortlandProtest #PdxProtest pic.twitter.com/rdkDM9pQL5

@/thekinseymovement spread her magic by speaking on the importance of rest. It is important to pace ourselves so we can make this movement sustainable. #PdxProtest #PortlandProtest #SafePdx pic.twitter.com/ohZheLf6Il

Demetria Hester’s voice is so powerful on the mic that someone turns her down to spare the ears of the crowd. She demands to be turned back up. “If we’re uncomfortable they should be uncomfortable.”

March swung through and exited the downtown Portland Justice Center area. The march is slow, which is nice because recent marches have been faaaast, which can make it hard for people to keep up.

The march returned to Pioneer Square. Renee White from Detroit speaks on the mic about the depressing choices for president. “Both of em fucked up. They’re dumb as hell and neither one of them speak on what they’re gonna do for Black people yet.” pic.twitter.com/y3cCUiI3jL

That was a long speech.
