Revolutionary Abolitionist Group is here (RAG). They’re a new group and you can read about who they are in the third photo
@MacSmiff gave a speech a bit ago, there is live music going and the crowd is slowly getting larger. Lots of mutual aid and food and drinks with some great literature. @freelunchpdx
@DefenseFundPdx is here and they have underwear with the NLG number on them!
An nlg member is currently giving a quick speech reminding everyone of their rights, what to do if the police show up or if you get arrested, and how NOT to talk to cops.
The march has taken off. Group is chanting “ACAB!”
Dj lrad has made his first announcement. Still an interesting march to idk where
It’s fucking Election Day and our government sucks. That’s it that’s the tweet.
We’re at the waterfront now. The crowd is listening to different speakers
A LOT of police are circling with their lights and sirens on
Riot declared
They tried to kettle us pretty hard
I didn’t clarify that this is a separate group from the one at the waterfront. We are marching to our planned location and keep getting blocked by the unified command
Unified command moving in
I’m literally inches away from the riot line and a person in bloc walks by and says “moon big!”
That was the weirdest kettle escape route I like it
There are SO MANY cops and riot vans
Pushed to the ground at least 4 times by the unified command. They also pushed press a block back
75 year old vet has some words for the police
Tried to film an arrest. They didn’t make it very easy. If anyone sees footage of this please share with me
National guard spotted downtown
Protect and serve, property.
Imagine being in the national guard and the weapon they assigned to you was a stick lol
Group that was marching finally made it to the injustice center after being kettled, chased by police and the national guard in their vehicles, beat, and numerous arrests
