Summary

On Saturday afternoon, protesters braved the extreme smoke conditions to march to the Multnomah County Juvenile Justice Complex, where organizers spoke about the impact of policing and incarceration on youth. They remained for 32 minutes, in recognition of the 32 juveniles who are incarcerated there. Multnomah County Sheriffs Deputies were present but did not interfere with the event. The group concluded by marching back through the neighborhood to Normandale Park.

Scheduled Events

• Normandale Park Direct Action March – 3 PM

Timeline

The air quality is still hazardous but a group of protesters are gathering at Normandale Park in NE Portland to march to the Multnomah County Juvenile Justice Complex.

A #protester is speaking, addressing a very quiet group in front of the Juvenile Justice Complex.

They are speaking about why they protest and their worries as a mother.

“My community is directly impacted by the systems that exist in this society.”

There have been two speakers so far. To start, Regina told the crowd that a majority of people in the crowd will not ever truly know why juvenile justice facilities are so harmful. The next speaker told the crowd that when they help other people they are helping the movement.

— Jake “wear a mask” Johnson (@FancyJenkins) September 12, 2020

The next speaker talks about their experiences in life and #protesting.

They are leading a chant before giving up the mic:
“I believe that we will win.”

The next speaker is sharing a story from high school, where they experienced racism directed at them due to their Black skin color.

“Racism is taught.”

The crowd will now have a 32 minute sit-in, “one minute for each child held here,” says the next speaker.

— Lesley McL (@Human42LM) September 13, 2020

The crowd is chanting “Abolish the police!” “Fuck the PPB!” Followed by classics: “A C A B” “All cops are bastards” and “Black lives matter” “Black lives matter” and another one: “ain’t no power like the power of the people cuz the power of the people don’t stop.” pic.twitter.com/4LSleNnaSy

— Jake “wear a mask” Johnson (@FancyJenkins) September 13, 2020

Protests are currently on hold due to the wildfires and severe smoke conditions. Many of the mutual aid groups that have been involved in protests are providing aid to people affected by the fires. Here’s some details if you’d like to support them:

• Team Raccoon: respirators (including for children)
• EWOKS: supply and resource station at Lloyd Center
• PDX Action Medics: masks
• The Witches: delivering supplies to affected areas
• PDX Street Mechanics: car repair

Wildfire information

Here’s a compendium of links to information state-wide.

The large fire closest to Portland is Riverside. Evacuations due to this fire are managed by Clackamas County and here’s their wildfire info page. Many of us are keeping tabs open for the fire extent and current air conditions. At this time, no further evacuations are happening in the Portland area (and we hope it stays that way!).

Summary

Despite much of the city’s attention pulled in the direction of the fires burning just southeast of Portland, the nightly demonstration proceeded as usual, just as it has for over 100 days. This event began at Elizabeth Caruthers Park in southwest Portland, the regular meeting spot for protesters that planned to demonstrate at the nearby Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. At its height the event pulled around 100 – 120 protesters.

Just after 10 pm, the group arrived at the ICE facility. What followed was several hours of chanting and dancing by protesters. Despite the continued presence of a small group of federal officers at the front of the building and documented reinforcements at the back of the building, officers largely did not engage besides to make two announcements to protesters to not set fires near the building. By 12:30 am federal officers had gone inside the building and numbers in the ranks of protesters dwindled, signaling the end of the night.

Scheduled Events

• PDX Car Caravan Protest – 5:30 pm
• Direct Action March – 8 pm

Timeline

Protesters gathered at Elizabeth Caruthers Park in Southwest Portland for the nightly demonstration.

Hi there, coming at you from Elizabeth Caruthers park, where the air isn’t as bad as it was a couple hours ago and where protesters have gathered, once again, to protest police brutality#BlackLivesMatter #PortlandProtest #JusticeForJacobBlake #JusticeForDanielPrude

Small gathering tonight: maybe 75 people here right now. Between the fires, the exhaustion, and the brutality last night, I’m not surprised

A chant of “Black Lives Matter” goes up just as I get here: a signal that the evening is about to begin

How do you forget your helmet on Day 104? My brain lately: not on top of things. All the more reason to protect what’s left with a helmet

At about 10:05 pm, protesters who marched from Elizabeth Caruthers Park arrived at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building.

Just after 11:05 pm, federal officers made an announcement on their loudspeaker to protesters.

Bafflingly, the Feds get on the loudspeaker to tell us not to light the ICE building on fire

No one has attempted this to my knowledge. I mean, there were some fire dance moves I guess but that’s as far as it’s gone

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 10, 2020

Looks like the reinforcements have left. Back to the old standoff

Stick cops still here. If I was in full armor holding a beatin’ stick facing down a bunch of dancing protesters with “I wanna dance with somebody” blasting, I would feel self-conscious

But I’m not a cop

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 10, 2020

You may have noticed the cops are carrying bags. The protesters have noticed too. “What’s in the bag!!” people keep screaming

Theories so far:

-Cocaine
-Gwyneth Paltrow’s head
-Paperwork (theory immediately dismissed, we know they don’t do paperwork)

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 10, 2020

Not a lot is happening – it’s funny how there’s no violence when the cops don’t rush or engage with the crowd ? it actually looks like quite a few folks are leaving. Smart, yet boring strategy for them. Probably helps that no one is willing to light a dumpster fire tonight.

— Peter (@gravemorgan) September 10, 2020

Things continuing much as before

Apparently the owners of the building across from ICE are not fans of the protest. I’ve heard of fighting fire with fire, but never of fighting graffiti with worse graffiti

It is certainly an aesthetic choice pic.twitter.com/M78YJmVtbq

The DHS line has thinned considerably and so has the protest. Could it be that tonight will end without violence or arrests? pic.twitter.com/qmbNOpMJIv

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 10, 2020

Just before 12:25 am federal officers, who had been standing outside the ICE facility since protesters arrived, went inside the building.

The last of the DHS line just went inside

There are maybe 25 people left, many of whom are still demanding to know what’s in the bag. We may never know

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 10, 2020

Sound on for the current situation pic.twitter.com/p8Ju1UnnWT

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 10, 2020

Folks, I’m heading out. Another night in the books, far less gas that I expected, and no new fires in Oregon. Gonna call this one a win

Solidarity with everyone still out here!

Summary

On Tuesday evening, as wildfires kicked up across the state of Oregon, protesters marched from Waterfront Park to the TriMet transit police offices in Old Town. They were blocked at several points by police lines, and marchers diverted around them, then decided to march to the Central police precinct. Next they moved to City Hall nearby, dancing and some freestyle rap, before being dispersed again. Arrests happened at several points during the march and dispersals, including that of a reporter, and one arrest that led to a medical emergency for the protester (graphic video is marked below). Many protesters left after this disturbing arrest, and the night ended with no other significant activities.

Scheduled Events

Waterfront Park Direct Action March – 8 PM

Timeline

Protesters are gathered in Waterfront Park, near the Burnside Bridge. Smoke has returned, this time from wildfires to the south of us near Salem and Woodburn.

The downtown protest kicks off in this public square. Although there’s video of a dumpster fire floating around with an implication that these protesters are responsible, it should be noted that fire is happening several blocks from here, under the Morrison bridge. pic.twitter.com/3ucICo2Rye

The aim of the march was to demonstrate in front of the transit police office. But the protesters, being blocked from it, turned onto SW 2nd instead and walked north to Everett. They double back to SW 1st and Everett, unfortunately this whole scene is blocking a Blue MAX train.

Summary

September 7th in Portland saw the start of a windstorm that brought in smoke from fires in the Mount Hood and nearby Washington areas, making the air uncomfortable to breathe in some areas and dangerous for sensitive groups in others. Possibly as a result of this, there was no night demonstration in Portland. There were, however, an abundance of right-wing rallies to cover in the area.

In Oregon City, a caravan of Trump supporters rallied at Clackamas Community College. Hundreds of people gathered and listened to a few speeches before setting off in a caravan that drove along the freeways around the area before some of the group split off while the rest continued all the way to Salem, Oregon. In Salem, the group held a flag waving rally at the city’s capital building. This rally was met by some Salem community members coming out to counter-protest, although the group of counter-protesters appeared to be visibly smaller than the right-wing rally.

Members of the flag waving rally were noticeably aggressive towards both counter-protesters and press. Assaults on multiple individuals were caught on video by journalists on the ground. As a result of one of the assaults, two ring-wing protesters would arrested by Salem Police but were quickly released. It is unclear if these individuals were actually charged with a crime.

In Portland, a demonstration for Black Lives Matter was held around mid-day. Protesters in attendance listened to speeches and performances by community members. The group eventually left the park to march around the area, and by the time they returned for more speeches, the smoke blowing into Portland had gotten visibly more severe. Unlike in Salem, this event ended without any altercations or interference by police officers.

Scheduled Events

• Rally in Support of MoC Workers – 11 am
• Meditation for Black Lives – 6 pm
• Black Lives Matter Lents Family-Friendly Protest – 6:30 pm

Summary

In the evening of September 6th, protesters gathered in North Portland for the nightly demonstration. Beginning at Alberta Park, the group marched to The Portland Police Bureau’s (PPB) north precinct. Immediately upon arrival at the precinct, protesters were met with the sound of PPB’s loudspeaker making an announcement stating that the precinct was closed and that anyone that entered the property would be subject to arrest. As protesters stood at the front of the precinct, they chanted, performed music, and set multiple mattresses on fire. The last mattress fire prompted a response from Portland Fire, preceded by PPB advancing on protesters to push them away from the mattress. At least one arrest occurred before officers quickly retreated back into the precinct.

Later in the night, the group attempted to move to the back of the precinct and were met by more announcements from the PPB loudspeaker and a riot line of officers who did not immediately engage with protesters. An incident also occurred with an individual in a car driving aggressively in the vicinity of protesters. This individual reportedly got out of their car to yell at protesters, then eventually drove off without causing any injuries. A few more arrests were made by PPB officers before the night ended by about 1 am.

Scheduled Events

• Families Marching for Black Lives – 12:30 pm
• Community Healing for Black Lives Matter – 5:30 pm
• Resist Dance – Featuring Chuckkpasta & Amenta Abioto – 6 pm
• Pioneer Square Nonviolent Protest – 6 pm
• No Justice No Peace – 7:30 pm

Summary

September 5th marked 100 days of protests in Portland, Oregon. In accordance with the milestone, there were many events planned around the city throughout the day. Starting midday at noon, two different sit-ins took place at public parks, one in north Portland and the other in southeast Portland. Both sit-ins drew crowds of at least 100 community members each, and provided space for community members to speak and perform music. Also present at both parks were community resources and free food provided for attendees.

In the evening, hundreds of protesters gathered at Ventura Park in southeast Portland. Ahead of the planned march, the group sat on the grass in the park listening to speakers and musical performers. As the demonstration prepared to begin marching, they were intercepted by Portland Police Bureau (PPB) officers and their loudspeaker (LRAD), which came to Ventura Park and informed protesters that they would not be allowed to proceed to the nearby PPB east precinct. Despite this announcement, protesters began marching anyways. Protesters got a few blocks away from the park when they were met by a riot line of PPB and Oregon State Police (OSP) officers. During a brief standoff between demonstrators and law enforcement, multiple incendiary devices were thrown into the space between the two groups inadvertently setting a protester’s legs on fire, which was put out by other protesters. Following this occurrence, PPB declared a riot and immediately began pushing protesters out of the area.

What followed was several hours of law enforcement officers pushing protesters out of the area using physical force and high amounts of impact munitions and tear gas, despite pushing protesters through residential neighborhoods and gassing community members inside their homes as a result. The protesters were split into multiple groups several times, but managed to regroup and continue moving throughout the area despite the continued dispersals by officers. Both PPB and OSP officers also appeared to conduct arrests at random, grabbing whoever was nearest to them or in the back of the pack of protesters as they moved away from incoming officers.

After protest numbers dwindled, several explosions were heard throughout the neighborhood. Some reports indicate an individual in a red car was driving around the area throwing devices out of their vehicle. Information on this event is still developing.

• Let’s Celebrate Diversity and Elevate BIPOC Voices – 10 am
• Beaverton Community Sign Making for Oregon Youth Climate Strike – 11 am

I can’t tell exactly how big the crowd is because almost no light but it looks massive. High hundreds

As the crowd prepared to begin the march, police arrived at Ventura Park and made an announcement to protesters that they would not be allowed to proceed to their destination.

Holy shit, it’s DJ LRAD

Before the march even forms up, before anyone even really moves towards the street, we are informed that we will not be permitted to march to East Precinct, that we are to return to the park via sidewalk

Protest has made it back to where the first dispersal took place, just south of Ventura Park. LRAD is directing crowd to leave to the East.

Earlier, the crowd was way east of the park, and the LRAD said everyone had to leave to the north.

Summary

On Friday night, protesters gathered in North Portland at Kenton Park and marched to the Portland Police Association building. Oregon State Police were standing guard outside the building when the march arrived. Protesters gave speeches and chanted, with the front of the protest line moving toward the OSP officers. Some ordinary balloons (filled with air) were being batted around by the protesters in front of the police line, and an unlawful assembly was declared shortly after at about 11:40 PM.

At this point, PPB and OPB officers rushed the crowd and made several arrests. Multiple people were injured during this dispersal and arrests, including a graphic head injury that has content warnings below. Police retreated then rushed the protesters again multiple times to make more arrests, including medics with clear insignia and a marked vehicle. The protest ended around 2 AM.

Scheduled Events

• Kenton Park Direct Action March – 8 PM

There’s a decent sized crowd here, maybe 150-200. A med/food/supply tent is here, and @SnackBloc has a table with next level self care supplies.

As I walk up to Kenton Park I’m greeted by the song “Kung Fu Fighting” and the ambient cheers of squeaky piggies. A trumpet plays in the distance

The march is off!

We’re moving.

A Black woman driving a van is stuck in the parade and rolled down her window to cheer us on.

“We gonna be out here a thousand nights!” she exclaimed.

Around 300 folks marching and chanting “no cops, no prisons, total abolition!”

Protesters arrive at the Portland Police Association building:

DJ LRAD immediately orders the 200+ person protest to move to the sidewalk

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 5, 2020

Fairly immediately upon arriving at PPA protesters were greeted by DJ LRAD and a line of riot police surrounding the PPA. LRAD says no one and no vehicles, including press and legal observers are allowed to be in the street. “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 fuck twelve chant”

— Jake “wear a mask” Johnson (@FancyJenkins) September 5, 2020

Boy howdy it’s a lot of riot cops tonight

A “75” and “4” bus come down Lombard.
“Let them through!” A protester yells.
“Public transit is our friend!” another agrees. The crowd moves for the buses and they honk appreciatively.

— Suzette Smith (@suzettesmith) September 5, 2020

A white car speeds through the crowd. No injuries

DJ LRAD commands protesters to move out of their road for their own safety. “Vehicles may not stop for you. This endangers your own lives”

Sure sounds like a threat to me

Black woman drove through the crowd while ALL of these police watched. DJ LRAD made it a point to taunt the protesters almost hit, and to verbally defend the driver. pic.twitter.com/6ZNVplvQua

There’s been 30-50 officers standing in front of the Portland Police Association building since before the protesters arrived.

A person wearing short short walks down the line pointing at each officer and yelling “bitch!” at each, in turn.

As the crowd moves closer to the line of riot police it sounds like the LRAD has either moved closer or turned up the volume. pic.twitter.com/yrv45mrMQ8

— Jake “wear a mask” Johnson (@FancyJenkins) September 5, 2020

The Black activist on the megaphone says:

“Unless we stand up, they’re gonna keep killing us in the streets. That’s why we’re out here tonight!

“If these cops think we’re gonna give up, they have another thing coming! We’re going to be here every day! Every day! Every day!”

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 5, 2020

Standoff continues

A tanker truck comes down Lombard and the speaker on mic calls for the crowd to let them through.
“Honk the horn for Black Lives Matter!” he yells.
The tanker honks.
Trumpet Man runs into the crowd and honks his horn too. Does Trumpet Man speak tanker ? It appears so.

Mac Smith gets on the mic

“Shit’s getting crazy out here. People have died. This is a budget issue, folks! This is a budget issue and y’all over there looking like storm troopers”

A very excited DJ LRAD is reminding people that the street is open to traffic. The LRAD is PPB which is interesting given the state troopers in front of the building. A bus just went through, but otherwise there are a couple hundred people in the road and on the sidewalks

At least one protester left visibly bloodied by police

Cops charge and conduct mass arrests–I’d estimate around 10. Drive protesters back with what seemed to me to be smoke and not gas

Cops retreat to the PPA. Look at all of them

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 5, 2020

Police are saying that they are making targeted arrests, but their targets seem to be anyone in arms reach. I want to know if their charges will justify the horrific force they just used because I did not see any actions from protesters that even warranted the unlawful assembly.

As I uploaded this, another push down Lombard. More arrests. Footage incoming

They appear to be retreating, we’ll see

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 5, 2020

Back at the PPA. I’ll try to upload some footage real quick pic.twitter.com/FfG4eCXcPn

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 5, 2020

No time to upload footage. Here’s what just happened:

-Another mini-rush, one arrest
-a guy on a bicycle apparently started swinging a hammer at people. The police apparently helped him on his bike and let him go. I caught only the end of this incident

— Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) (@1misanthrophile) September 5, 2020

Hammer bike guy is back. He does not appear to be doing particularly well in life. I think he’s having a bad time

The officers allow him to walk away down the street, then immediately threaten a protester with jail for the exact same thing

After several advances and withdrawals, west and east on Lombard, protesters are spread out for blocks on the sidewalk. PPB and OSP surround the PPA. A person on a bicycle rides past yelling, “Jesus is lord!”

Officers are now rushing to groups of press and onlookers who are obeying orders and not in the street and saying that everyone in a particular spot that is not press is subject to arrest. They seem to be doing this because those targets are being compliant and are easy to get.

— 45th ןǝןןɐɹɐd ʇsıpɹnsqɐ ǝpɐbıɹq (@45thabsurdist) September 5, 2020

Tonight the police seem intent on making as many arrests as possible as brutality as possible to limit participation in the rallies tomorrow

— 45th ןǝןןɐɹɐd ʇsıpɹnsqɐ ǝpɐbıɹq (@45thabsurdist) September 5, 2020

Police rushed up and conducted a targeted action of sorts. Portland police bureau appears to have cleared protesters north on Denver. Then state troopers came north on Denver after them. Don’t know if this is related to federally deputized troopers or not. pic.twitter.com/UGJ2W7Vl6G

— Jake “wear a mask” Johnson (@FancyJenkins) September 5, 2020

Cell service in this part of town is terrible, so reporters are catching up on posting videos:
