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
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
Rian Gayle, a Deaf, Black advocate, is now presenting. He is discussing racism and ableism in the police force. #Salem#SalemProtest#salemoregon#oregon#salemprotests#SalemOR#oregonprotests#blmprotests #clypiancoverage
Gayle is discussing how officers fail to handle disabilities appropriately. He said that they are required to make accommodations for people with disabilities, however, often the officers fail to write back and forth with him, instead forcing Gayle to read their lips.
The Cross Country Boys Varsity team also placed 2nd overall out of the ten teams at the meet. Great job Saxons! @salemkeizer@OSAASports@SJSports#orpreps#clypiancoverage
Evan Gonzalez led the way for South placing 5th with a time of 16:41 minutes.
