Tonight our city is shaken. Last week, we crowdfunded 40 ballistic vests and 18 ballistic helmets, 11&5 of which were on the streets tonight, unfortunately, that's not enough. Donate at PDXShieldArtisan on Cashapp, or ShieldMom on Venmo and we will buy more.

FYI, typical lead time on these items is 2-3 months. By buying in bulk we are able to cut this down significantly, but it still takes weeks for most of it to arrive. We got incredibly lucky this week and had some of the last order arrive far quicker than expected.

And again, I want to make this clear. While I am acting under the specific guidance and advice of BIPOC community leaders, this effort is NOT officially sponsored by any of the groups I am affiliated with. Pigs, if you're going to arrest someone for this, arrest me.
