Protests for November 8

Summary

Tonight’s demonstration was a direct action that quietly happened with very little press coverage. A small group of protesters gathered at Laurelhurst Park, then quietly marched through residential areas to their destination: the office of the Democratic Party of Oregon. Once there, windows were smashed and graffiti was applied on the building. The group didn’t stay in the area, but were followed by police as they marched back to Laurelhurst Park. At least one arrest occurred as protesters marched away, and as they returned to Laurelhurst the group dispersed and the night came to an end.
