Looks like we're gonna hold off on marching for a little bit:https://twitter.com/safePDXprotest/status/1303908456496152578?s=19 …

How do you forget your helmet on Day 104? My brain lately: not on top of things. All the more reason to protect what's left with a helmet As I return helmeted I see the crowd has grown to maybe 120. @SoundBlocPDX is playing Les Chant de Partisans. People chat quietly

A speaker announces that this is the 49th anniversary of the Attica prison riot in response to subhuman conditions. They took over the prison for 4 days and issued a list of demands. They achieved all of them 33 people died for that change

The activist leads the crowd in a chant for Breonna Taylor "We're gonna effect change, right?" The crowd cheers

The activist introduces himself as BLM4EverG on Instagram. He says he's just returned from DC and that Portland was well-represented there. I believe he said he's been in Louisvie before that

It's a small crowd, but it's a small line too. Not enough to do much on their own. They stand quietly while the crowd chants: "Your momma raised a fascist!" "No cops, no prisons! Total abolition!" "No one is illegal on stolen land!" someone shouts

The activist with the megaphone tells the federal agents they're part of an agency that tears apart families. They've pledged allegiance to a bad structure "There must be change. There WILL be a fucking change!"
