Scheduled Events

• Portland Interfaith Clergy Resistance: Prayer for Peace and Power – 6 am

Timeline

As the evacuation defense at the Red House enters its 4th day as a blockade (Note: the eviction protest has been ongoing since September) protesters begin the day with an interfaith morning prayer.

Had a nice sunrise prayer at RH this morning led by an array of interfaith clergy.

The continually bustling camp is perpetually repairing and innovating, all while people at all levels of involvement engage in heavy conversations on strategics and philosophy.

Timeline

The eviction blockade at the Red House continues amid news that the property developer may be interested in selling the house back to the Kinney family at cost.

Someone who lives a few houses down from one of the blockades at red house just brought some pallets and said “please please find a way to use these against the cops.” He pointed at the barricade and said “I brought that that’s from me! From my yard! That makes me so happy!” ?? pic.twitter.com/BNSsUPZH1j

Shots fired near the house in a grey sedan with dealer plates. Everyone is ok.

Please get down to red house if you can. People are exhausted and need breaks, lots of help and support are needed. People are running on fumes

Not much live reporting is happening today, and everyone is strongly discouraged from sharing photos taken inside the barricades for safety reasons. You can see one set of responses to that in the articles below.
