Several Thousand gathered here at the justice center in Portland. It’s right next to the federal courthouse where the feds are stationed. Crowd is chanting “wake up, wake up! Feds get out!” Largest crowd I’ve seen since being here.
#PortlandMoms are getting ready to head to the front lines in front of the courthouse where the feds do most of their damage. This happened just before 11pm every night.
These mothers are relentless. I’ve spoken to a couple of white mothers who have Black children and they’ve shared with me that they believe the least they can do for their child is put their body on the lines in the fight for justice. It’s pretty goddamn beautiful. #PortlandMoms
We even have veterans here. I must say in all my time covering the BLM movement I have yet to see this type of intersectional solidarity from demographics you’d assume wouldn’t be here showing up. Veterans and suburban moms are here to fight.
