#clypiancoverage

Protestors began to march in this direction from Peninsula Park around 9:20. They marched while chanting “Say his/her name” and responding with the names of victims of police brutality. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx

Police are making announcements over the LRAD telling protestors to get out of the street. Protestors are chanting “Take it to the streets, fuck the police, no justice, no peace.” #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon

Protestors are now chanting “Black lives matter.” They have formed a shield barricade, however there are a handful of people in front of it including a drummer. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest

Protestors are now on the move marching on N. Montana Ave. They are chanting “Take to the streets, fuck the police, no justice, no peace” and “stay together, stay tight, we do this every night.” #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #pdxprotests

#clypiancoverage

A couple paint ballons have been thrown into the street near officers as well as one water bottle, but nothing beyond that. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest
#clypiancoverage

More Portland Police officers are coming from N Mississippi. They are making announcements declaring the assembly unlawful and ordering people to disperse. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest

Portland police have moved towards the crowd and pushed it back. They have used smoke, projectiles and flash bangs. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest
#clypiancoverage

Portland police move towards the crowd and use flashbangs. They repeatedly order press and legal observers to remain on the sidewalk. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest
#clypiancoverage

Portland police have made at least one arrest. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest
#clypiancoverage

The group seems to have splintered after that. There’s currently approximately 100 back at Peninsula Park. They are working on regrouping now. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest
#clypiancoverage

Portland Police aggressively push the crowd forward again. They continue to make unlawful assembly announcements. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest
#clypiancoverage

Police backed away (at least for the moment) and protestors are marching again. They are chanting “Black lives matter.” #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest
#clypiancoverage

Protestors are at an intersection, police are a block away and a dumpster fire is between them. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest
#clypiancoverage

Portland police marched up approximately a block and a half. Protestors remain about a block away. Police have been consistently yelling at press to stay on the sidewalk. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx

Protestors continued to march. Officers just met them and began to push them up NE Lombard yelling “move.” #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest
#clypiancoverage

Protestors are being moved through residential neighborhoods at a fast walk, sometimes a run. They are being followed by the line of riot police and 5 vehicles. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest

~250 protestors are gathered in the intersection of N Buffalo & N Commercial. Police have moved away again after chasing the crowd for 15+ minutes through residential neighborhoods. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon

There’s a standoff on N Mississippi and N Lombard. There’s only ~15 officers on the ground here right now and a couple hundred protestors. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest

More officers have arrived. Protestors are currently standing on the sidewalk. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #oregon #pdx #pdxprotest

Officers are holding everyone (protestors, press, legal observers, etc) on the sidewalk & are yelling at everyone who steps into the street. Protestors are spread out along a block. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx

An officer records protestors from the open window of a riot van. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

The first riot van and group of officers left. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

The second riot van and the rest of the Portland police officers have left as well. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

A riot line has formed on the other side of the I5 overpass. Protestors are on the sidewalk; some are slowly moving over the overpass towards officers. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

Police have moved so they are only blocking two lanes to allow traffic through. Protestors are slowly moving off the sidewalk into the two lanes. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

PPB’s riot line is now spanning all the lanes on Lombard. Protestors have filled two lanes and are chanting “Quit your job.” #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

Portland police rush towards the crowd at a run and push protestors back to the area around N Mississippi and N Lombard. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

That bullrush over the I5 effectively split up protestors, who seem to be moving back towards the park to regroup. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

As protestors walk towards the park, PPB vehicles, both the riot vans & SUVs, have passed by several times. A couple officers yelled “Time to go home” from the back of the van. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx

There’s a small group of dozens at Peninsula Park. Protestors have been talking about another group or two in the neighborhood for a while, they are currently organizing a regroup. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdx

Well we were on the way out of the area, but we ran into PPB officers pushing the crowd back over the Lombard I5 overpass. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

There are over a dozen Portland Police vehicles behind the line of officers pushing the crowd back. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

There’s about as many officers as there are protestors now at the intersection of N Mississippi and N Lombard. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

The LRAD began to make an announcement ordering a man on a scooter w a speaker to move out the street. Before it ended officers charged towards the man & arrested him. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest

Protestors and police remain in a standoff on one corner of N Lombard and N Mississippi. Protestors are chanting “Whose streets? Our streets” and yelling at the officers. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest

A member of the press & an officer are arguing about the TRO. The person is asking the officer to let him do his job. The officer told him that there were people in the crowd labeled as press who aren’t. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #pdx

The officers have now left. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest #clypiancoverage

I’m calling it a night! There’s a very small group left in N Portland that seems to be trying to make it to the Police Union Hall still, but most protestors have headed home. #portland #salem #salemoregon #PortlandProtest #portlandoregon #oregon #portlandprotests #pdx #pdxprotest

We swung by Riverfront Park where there’s a bake sale to raise funds to help people affected by the wildfires. The event was organized by “patriots against racism,” mainly Epilogue Kitchen which has been involved in #BLM organizing. #Oregonfires #santiamfires #oregon #wildfire

The bake sale sold out after 1.5 hours. They are still handing out free masks & anti-racism info, plus registering people to vote. 100% of the proceeds will go to help with wildfire relief. #oregon #salemoregon #santiamfire #oregonfires #wildfire #oregonwildfires #wildfirerelief

Approximately 15 people participated in a “[bike] ride for change.” They flew BLM flags and biked around the park. The event was organized in conjunction with the bake sale, by Rian Gayle, a Black, Deaf community leader. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #BLMprotests #salemor

Yesterday we drove down Oregon HWY 97—the edge of the Two Four Two Fire. The fire has burned over 14,000 acres in Southern Oregon & is 7% contained. Several hot spots burned along the hwy as we passed. #fires #fire #twofourtwofire #OregonFires #OregonWildfires #oregon #wildfire

Along the highway, in the Two Four Two Fire zone, a sign reads “No Trespassing, Looters Will Be Shot.” The fire had burned several structures on the property behind the sign. #fires #fire #twofourtwofire #OregonFires #OregonWildfires #oregon #wildfire #wildfires

Along the highway, a team worked to secure power lines. Although the cause of the Two Four Two Fire is still unknown, downed power lines are a common cause of wildfires. #fires #fire #twofourtwofire #OregonFires #OregonWildfires #oregon #wildfire #wildfires #clypiancoverage

We visited Salem’s @UnitedWay earlier today where donations for fire evacuees are being collected. This room had everything from food to bedding to personal hygiene products (& more). #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire

The tables in the center of the main room held food, toilet paper, wipes, soap, tissues, toothbrushes, toothpaste & more all donated from community members to support evacuees. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire

This corner of the room was solely dedicated to diapers for little ones who had to evacuate. One of today’s deliveries was a lady who started a Facebook fundraiser and brought over even more diapers. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #wildfires #BeachieCreekFire #fire #SantiamFire

We’re at the Oregon State Fairgrounds right now where an evacuation center has been set up for people evacuating from the fires. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire #clypiancoverage

The Jackman-Long building houses a shelter run by the Red Cross. There are many tables of food, a large pile of water bottles, dozens of tables, and dozens of beds for evacuees. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire

A representative from Marion County helping with volunteer sign-ins says that they have had hundreds of community members volunteer to help with the shelter. To volunteer you can visit the Marion County website. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #santiamfire

Salem’s air quality is currently “very unhealthy” per the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Limit your time outdoors if possible. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #BeachieCreekFire #clypiancoverage

Very unhealthy air quality means that everyone may experience more serious side effects. To avoid the smoke stay indoors whenever possible & leave windows/doors closed. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #BeachieCreekFire

Salem’s air quality has been upgraded to “hazardous” with an index of 341. The air quality is dangerous for everyone, do not go outside unless it is necessary. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #BeachieCreekFire #clypiancoverage
