Back at the Justice Center, Thursday 6/25. The fence has been replaced and there are about 250 people in the street/park. There is a vigil planned for 10:00. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Tonight there are more hatches in the drywall for the police to shoot munitions through from the other side. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
As the vigil kicks off there is a land acknowledgment due to everyone here being on stolen land. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
People lighting candles to spell out “Black Lives Matter” on the sidewalk in front of the Justice Center. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
A few small arguments broke out over someone filming people and (maybe accidentally) shoving folks and somehow escalated into some people saying masks don’t even protect against the virus and how covid is a conspiracy. Those people have since left.
“I Can’t Breathe” spelled out on the sidewalk with candles. #ICantBreath #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland

Some people getting up close to the Justice Center & spray painting on the plywood, similar to last night, but this time lots of people are actually staying & sitting on the steps. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #portland
Some better shots of tonight’s graffiti. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Two of the main shooting hatches by the entrance have been covered up after police started peeping through, and sandbags have been placed to block the front door. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
