Protests

Summary

On election night, protesters gathered at Revolution Hall in SE Portland for a rally and march. Several hundred people listened to speakers who talked about defunding the police and revolutionary activism. Protesters then began a slow march to the west, led by a drumline. Some activists in the group were openly carrying guns. After reaching the Laurelhurst Park area, the march reversed to return to its starting point, continuing more chants, and speeches about the impacts of the election given from a truck at the front.

A smaller group of protesters then went downtown to the Justice Center, where some of them lit a small bonfire. People moved to the other side of the building and danced in the street outside the Central Precinct. The protest ended around 1 AM.

Scheduled Events

• All Power to the People West Coast Solidarity – 5 PM at Revolution Hall

Over a dozen people vote in SE Portland as I arrive at official Multnomah County ballot collection boxes near SE 11th isn between Alder and Morrison. Some people walk up, while others drive.

I heard music at Revolution Hall from over a block away. ~200 people are gathered for a planned All Power to the People West Coast Solidarity rally and march. I couldn't hear this musician's name, but his song is called "Head of State." pic.twitter.com/KvFbtPnlYy

After marching through the SE Belmont business hub around SE 34th, the assembly seems about to pass SE 39th. After much speculation that this group was headed downtown, it certainly seems like they either aren’t going there tonight or they won’t be there for quite a while.

As the crowd continues marching down SE Stark St., a young Black activist begins to speak:

“When I go anywhere I’m always looked at as that loud, angry Black girl. A loud, ghetto Black girl. And it’s sad because I’m so much more than that.” (1/3)

— Cata Gaitán (@catalinagaitan_) November 4, 2020

“I am loud, I am angry and I have a voice and I’m going to use it, because God gave it to me. I want you to understand that this is how Black and brown people are looked at on a daily basis.” (2/3)

“We’ve always had to work ten times harder than the other kids because we don’t get those opportunities. We don’t get those resources. We don’t get the materials that we need to be successful.” (3/3)

Summary

Happy Halloween, Portland! The city celebrated the holiday today the best way we know how – by protesting police brutality.

The first event of the night took place at Irving Park, where a demonstration led by PNW Youth Liberation Front marched throughout the North Portland area. The group marched for about an hour, reportedly breaking many windows of large businesses as they went. Despite Portland Police declaring the gathering a riot very early in the night (at around 7:40 pm), the group employed tactics that kept them moving enough to avoid arrests until they arrived back at the park after their march. By about 8:10 pm, the demonstration ended without any confrontations with police or arrests.

The second event took place at Esther Short Park in Vancouver, Washington, where protesters gathered to demand justice for Kevin Peterson, a young black man killed by Vancouver Police two days ago. Attendance of this demonstration numbered in the few hundreds, according to on-the-ground reports. As protesters trickled into Esther Short Park, they were immediately met by both a high right-wing counter-protest presence across the street from the park and a high police presence in the park itself barring people from walking through. Protesters spent the night marching to various locations, avoiding police and being tailed by far-right groups most of the way. Just after 1 am, Vancouver Police declare the gathering an unlawful assembly, but do not use any crowd control munitions on the group of protesters. The protest ended for the night shortly after, around 1:30 am, with no arrests and very little interference by the police.

Scheduled Events

• Fred Hampton Community Clinic – 11 am
• Capitalism is Scary – 6 pm
• Justice for Kevin Peterson – 10 pm

Timeline

Irving Park – Portland, OR

The Halloween protest begins at 6 pm at Irving park.

I’ve arrived at the meeting location for spoopy Halloween fun. There is also a Dia de los Muertos celebration happening and it looks very festive. The tank is here, as are some HORRIFIC Ted-getting-gassed masks.

I’m at Irving Park in NE Portland where ~50 people are gathered for “Capitalism is Scary,” an event organized by Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front calling for “total abolition.” Many are donning masks of a tear gassed Mayor Wheeler.

I’ve arrived in Hazel Dell. It’s strange to see the street cleared, knowing a murder just took place here. All the police cars are gone, the ME trailer, the detectives, and the forensics teams. Several cars honk in support.

There are hundreds of people in the US Bank gathered for the vigil.

Kevin Peterson’s family and friends have stepped forward to stand near the candlelit vigil. Within the crowd, some weep and hold onto each other. Nina Simone’s “Strange Fruit” plays quietly over a sound system.

Emotions on 100. I was asked what song should be played, I asked for Strange Fruit.

Smiff described learning from Peterson’s father that it took over 10 hours to be allowed to identify his son’s body, which had been left on the street. “This is not a Black problem at all. This is a problem with a system that’s designed to kill Black people.”

I'm late but not too late to what has become AR-15 Thursday in downtown Portland. Again

Maybe 30 BLM protesters blocking the intersection at 3rd and Main. A few paintball guns in the crowd

Meanwhile about 10 Blue Lives Matter stand on the sidewalk. One AR-15 and lots of mace

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 29, 2020

Another AR-15 on the BLM side. This is an interesting development

He tells me he decided to come armed in part because of that video of the AR-15 threat. That his aim is to keep things de-escalated

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) October 29, 2020

Chants and flag waving continued for another hour:

An unusual occurance: the Blue Lives Matter protesters turn and leave. Wave goodbye. No one follows

Nope

BLM protesters follow

Reports are spreading on social media that police in Vancouver, WA (across the river from Portland) killed a Black man named Kevin Peterson Jr. tonight.

There is a group of family and concerned citizens gathered near the crime scene to learn more about what happened. A Clark County Sheriff's deputy is hassling a citizen Journalist for being here and not having a press pass.

Another direct action is happening at a law office in NE Portland:

A law office near Grant High was allegedly smashed up, purportedly by antifascists.

The family explains to me that the cops have not told them anything. They say the body is still in the street; has been since 6pm. It's almost 1am.

They are concerned cops are paying attention to the protesters instead of processing the scene.

Don't nobody start nothing.

Looked for a moment like detectives were leaving, and they might speak with the family. The family remains in the dark. Kevin’s body has been on the pavement for 7 1/2 hours, and his family has no answers.

Summary

Tonight’s demonstration took place at the ICE facility in Southwest Portland. Demonstrators gathered at the usual meeting place for ICE protests: Elizabeth Caruthers Park. From there the small group of protesters marched to the ICE facility, where they remained only briefly before continuing to march around the block to the sound of Homeland Security (DHS) officers making an announcement over their loudspeaker. Upon their re-arrival to the facility, the protest was met with yet another announcement that the facility was closed and to stay off the grounds. Officers then made their first appearance outside of the building for the night and arrested a protester that had walked up the driveway. After the arrest they re-entered the building.

When officers emerged a second time, they began deploying munitions towards protesters, including tear gas and impact munitions, and pushed protesters out of the area. For the next few hours officers continued flooding the area with tear gas and multiple arrests were made, two of whom were taken off in ambulances towards the end of the night, one in a neck brace. By about 2 am, with less than 10 protesters left in the area and having endured being gassed and shot at for hours, the demonstration had ended.

Scheduled Events

• March to ICE – 11 pm

Summary

Portland had quite the busy evening today. Three separate events took place, the first being the vigil for Walter Wallace Jr., a 27 year old black man who was murdered by Philadelphia Police during a mental health crisis call yesterday. The vigil began at 7 pm and ended around 8:45 pm, during which protesters gathered around the Justice Center downtown and listened to black speakers and placed candles on the steps of the building for Walter.

After the vigil ended protesters split into two locations for two different demonstrations – one at the North Precinct and the other starting at Arbor Lodge Park in North Portland. The demonstration at the north precinct was relatively brief. Protesters arrived at the precinct around 10 pm to the sight of squad car headlights shining out of the driveway of the building, illuminating protesters. By 10:45 pm a journalist just arriving on the scene reported that the group was no longer there, indicating that the demonstration had seemingly ended by then.

The other demonstration began at Arbor Lodge Park. Protesters marched silently through the residential area around the park until they reached their destination – City Commissioner Dan Ryan’s home. Once there, they chanted outside urging Dan to vote to lower PPB’s budget tomorrow. The chanting past 11 pm prompted the appearance of Dan Ryan and his partner on their front lawn, where they ended up standing for around an hour listening to protesters speak about their experiences with police brutality during the protests. However, Dan Ryan refused to offer a formal statement on how he will vote at the budget meeting on October 28th, but did exchange contact information with some protesters who wished the continue the dialogue.

All 3 demonstrations began and ended without police interference besides some verbal commands over loudspeakers.

Scheduled Events

• Solidarity with Philadelphia – 7 pm
• March to Defund PPB – 10 pm

Dan says he’s almost done listening because it’s been more than 20 mins and he’s concerned we are disrupting his ‘elderly neighbors’.
Black protesters respond by saying “we are literally dying at the hands of the PPB on the streets – your neighbors can be disturbed”.

Protester: “what makes you so undecided, what keeps you from cutting the budget?”

Commissioner: “I can’t answer the question tonight, I need to talk to my colleagues”

Protester: “when you see a child drowning, do you need to talk to your colleagues to make a decision?”

“The cops keep blowing up my phone and keep telling them I got this, but how long will this take?” the commissioner threatening the cops while also trying to virtual signal that he’s different than the other folks who would call them on sight. ?? #DefundthePolice #PdxProtest

Protester to commissioner Ryan “aye, you on signal?”

— Sergio Olmos (@MrOlmos) October 28, 2020

Commissioner has said he will never forget tonight but the thing is… it’s not what about *he* remembers… THE PEOPLE will not forget tonight that Dan Ryan had nothing to say on whether or not he will vote tmrw to defund the police.

— not too shabby gabby ✨ (@PDXGabs) October 28, 2020

Dan and his partner have stood outside in the cold for about an hour and listened to the stories of local BIPOC Protesters and their experience with the PPB. He has thanked everyone for sharing their stories but has repeatedly stated he is still undecided on tomorrow’s vote.

I’m in downtown Portland where a small group of protesters is gathered to march in solidarity with Philadelphia, where police fatally shot a 27-year-old Black man Monday afternoon.

A Portland police officer has been using a loudspeaker to address the group of ~15 protesters standing on the sidewalk, saying:

“C’mon, you guys are supposed to march at 1. Let’s kick this off.”

and

“C’mon. ACAB. Let’s do it.”

— Cata Gaitán (@catalinagaitan_) October 27, 2020

Protesters are chanting toward Portland police, repeating the name of the man who family members identified as the person fatally shot by Philadelphia police.

Following the crowd on a march. We’ve been getting tailed by a PPB vehicle, protesters approached the vehicle and chanted “move back!” As they advanced towards the vehicle. The single officer seemed pretty scared despite the small group and rushed off in the wrong lane

On NW 7th and Davis, protesters gathered around a parked Portland police vehicle. A smack was heard, like that of someone hitting the vehicle.

“You right there in the black hoodie, you’re under arrest. Do not move,” the officer said before driving south and away from the crowd. pic.twitter.com/LTlwlzeyxH

After marching through the Pearl and Chinatown, protesters gathered near Portland’s Waterfront Park and dispersed.

Summary

The demonstration of the day took place outside of Portland in Lake Oswego, a majority white, former sundown town. Protesters, led by Moms United for Black Lives, gathered at a park in a residential neighborhood and immediately drew the attention of passersby. Throughout the entire demonstration, as protesters marched through both residential and business streets in the city, groups of spectators and counter-protesters on foot and in cars followed them around, including members of far-right group Proud Boys. Despite attempts at intimidation from those in the area, protesters’ spirits remained high throughout the march and the event ended without any physical confrontations between protesters and counter-protesters.

Scheduled Events

• Yoga in the Park – 11 am
• Lake Oswego Moms United for Black Lives – 11 am
• Self Care 2nd and 4th Sundays! – 1 pm
• Defense Fundraiser at Revolution Hall – 3 pm
• Justice for Reese – 3 pm
