We’re at the Oregon State Capitol where 100+ people are gathered for the Reopen Oregon Rally. About 50 Black Lives Matter demonstrators are also sitting on/by the steps. Follow along for live updates! #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR
One speaker from the Reopen Oregon Rally is talking about the need to fight child sex trafficking & change laws so that perpetrators serve more serious sentences for child sexual abuse both online & in person. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR Image
Another speaker is claiming that the COVID-19 statistics are false. He’s calling for people across the state to stop wearing their masks and for businesses to stop enforcing the mask mandate. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #oregonprotests Image
As the National Anthem plays the BLM protestors have taken a knee and are raising their fists in protest. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #oregonprotests #blmprotests

A Reopen Oregon protestor is now speaking about how there are more Americans with guns than soldiers and that “America will take out standing armies with civilians alone.” #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #oregonprotests
#clypiancoverage Image
A new speaker just told people that that don’t need masks or social distancing [a claim that directly goes against guidance from the @OHAOregon, @CDCgov and @WHO]. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #oregonprotests #blmprotests
A handful of Reopen Oregon Protestors and BLM demonstrators have been facing each other pretty consistently for the past hour on the side of the steps. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #oregonprotests
#clypiancoverage Image
A physical fight has broken out at the Capitol between the two groups. What prompted it is unclear. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #oregonprotests
#clypiancoverage
Julianne Jackson, a Black community leader, is telling BLM demonstrators to move to the gazebo and disengage, which demonstrators are doing. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #oregonprotests
#clypiancoverage Image
Several people have minor injuries from the altercation & both sides seem visibly shaken. Noticeably absent is Oregon State Police who were notified of the fight, but did not come out of the building. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR
Julianne Jackson is talking to the remaining BLM demonstrators about her”Black Joy Tour,” where she and several others travel around Oregon and show “Black excellence.” #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR
At the same time, the Reopen Oregon protestors walked to the Starbucks on Ferry and Church to try to enter without masks. The employees locked the doors to stop them from entering. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #clypiancoverage Image
The organizer of the BLM event is talking to the crowd of ~50 people about creating political change. Almost all of the Reopen Oregon protestors have left. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #clypiancoverage Image
Claire Snyder, today’s organizer, is talking about voter suppression. She is also reminding people of places they can drop off their ballots other than mail boxes. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #blmprotests #clypiancoverage Image
The BLM demonstrators are working to pack up all their equipment and clean up the park. I’m heading home now and photos and stories from today will be posted shortly! #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage

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 Image
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

“We need to make changes now, not after we have our own Breonna Taylor, not after we have our own Kenosha moment,” Julianne Jackson, a Black community leader, said. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #BreonnaTaylorprotests #blmprotests #salemor #clypiancoverage Image

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 ImageImageImage
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 Image
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 Image

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 Image
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 Image

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 Image
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 Image
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 Image

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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
