    Last night, Portlanders committed to peaceful demonstrations amplified their energy, asserted their collective voice and reclaimed the space that has been a staging ground for violence, to share their powerful message of reformative justice. Thank you!

    What will history say about Portland? It will say that we did not resist the call for reformation. It will say that we ushered in a new era of reconciliation and restorative justice.

    The protests downtown last night felt different. Why? It was the first night of protests in nearly three weeks without federal law enforcement officers involved. and report.

    Last night, the world was watching Portland. Here's what they saw: Federal troops left downtown. Local officials protected free speech. And Oregonians spoke out for Black Lives Matter, racial justice, and police accountability through peaceful, non-violent protest.

    Thank you . We must defend and advance a strong AFFH rule in order to create complete communities. Portland is a stronger and healthier city when we support working families.

    I am happy to inform you that I’ve already introduced an amendment to block your latest racist, classist nonsense

    We are beginning to work with incoming District Attorney Mike Schmidt to reform the legal arm of the criminal justice system. We are advocating to State and Federal legislators for changes in the law.

    Today, Council will consider referring a ballot measure to fundamentally reimagine police accountability. The City Council has redirected millions of dollars from the Police Bureau’s budget, and is pressing forward with updates to bureau policies and training.

    For nearly two months, many thousands of Portlanders have committed to conversation and action centered on police and criminal justice system reform in our community. Local and State leaders have taken meaningful steps. And we are poised to do more.

    The Oregon State Police, Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, & Portland Police Bureau will continue working together to keep Portlanders safe, and the Governor and I have given clear direction: we expect that they will continue engaging only if there is violent criminal activity.

    The daily coverage of their actions has distracted our community from the Black voices at the center of this movement, and the urgent work of reform. I appreciate Governor Brown’s leadership in this discussion and her willingness to step in with State resources.

    The federal occupation of our community has brought a new kind of fear to our streets. Federal agents nearly killed a demonstrator, and their presence has led to increased violence and vandalism in our downtown core.

    After my discussions with VP Pence and others, the federal government has agreed to withdraw federal officers from Portland. They have acted as an occupying force & brought violence. Starting tomorrow, all Customs and Border Protection & ICE officers will leave downtown Portland.

    Portland stands with Chicago, Seattle, Albuquerque, DC, and Kansas City.

    On Monday, Chicago and five other U.S. cities made an appeal to Congress: make it illegal for the federal government to deploy militarized federal agents to cities that don't want them.
