We’re at the Capitol where there are dueling rallies, one in support of Trump and the other in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Follow along here for live updates! #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage
There are lots of weapons on the Trump side, including guns, bats, batons, knives and bear spray. The BLM side has a couple baseball bats. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage Image
We have been told that earlier this afternoon bear spray was used by people from the Trump rally after someone grabbed one of their flags. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage Image
Both sides have moved back from the street onto sidewalks in what appears to be an attempt to de-escalate tensions. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage
Both crowds are currently pretty spread out. There’s some yelling back and forth, but no physical confrontation. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage Image
The Trump caravan is on its way down from #Portland. The Trump supporters are waiting for their arrival. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage Image
The BLM protestors are standing in the shade regrouping. A large portion of the group has left the Capitol area. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage Image
The Trump supporters are still hanging out on the steps and in the area in front of the Capitol. Several more cars with Trump & American flags have arrived. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage Image
There are a lot of flags here: Trump, American, thin blue line, Proud Boys and more. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #clypiancoverage
The crowd is chanting “USA” as a group of people, including several Proud Boys, unfold an American flag at the top of the steps. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #clypiancoverage
The Proud Boys/Trump supporters just bull rushed the BLM protestors. They shot paintballs at the group, punched and maced at least one person. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage
.@SalemPoliceDept stopped the Proud Boys/Trump supporters from continuing to rush BLM protestors. They ordered at least one to drop their paint gun. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #clypiancoverage
Trump supporters/Proud Boys just ran up to a BLM supporter in the Capitol Mall, shot her w paintballs and hit her. @SalemPoliceDept and @ORStatePolice broke up the attack. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #clypiancoverage
Two people from the Trump/Proud Boy side were arrested, both were carrying weapons and were escorted away by police. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage
Police told the protestors to go back to the Capitol. They moved back a little but remained in a line on the mall. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage Image
A member of the press corps from Portland was just shot with paintballs as protestors yelled “Antifa press” at him. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage Image
The scene here has calmed down and people are spread out chatting. All the BLM protestors seem to have left a little while ago. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #clypiancoverage
A group of the Trump supporters/Proud Boys ran into the Capitol park & around the Capitol after people were allegedly messing with a flag. The people were gone by the time they arrived. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage
A lot of the cars flying Trump flags here have their front and back license plates removed or taped over, like both of these trucks. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #clypiancoverage Image
There are less than 100 people here and more seem to be leaving. The group is mostly standing on this corner talking and waving at honking cars. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #clypiancoverage Image

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

There are close to 200 people gathered at the Oregon Capitol to protest for Breonna Taylor, following the grand jury decision in her case. Follow along for live updates. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #BreonnaTaylorprotests #blmprotests #salemor #clypiancoverage Image
“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
The crowd is on the move. They are marching down Court St. and chanting. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #BreonnaTaylorprotests #blmprotests #salemor #clypiancoverage

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
