Saturday, Dec 27, NE Portland, Oregon- the Lloyd District,
16th/Multnomah:
A seated activist attends this weekly protest. She wears a burgundy jacket & holds a sign, “Be as courageous as you can”. She is joined by three protesters wearing inflatable suits: on the left an orange & white frog with black spots, sporting a blue neckerchief; and a very tall yellow chicken with an orange bow tie. To her right, a green & white frog with black spots holds her hand and rests an arm across her shoulder.

Thurs Jan 8, NE Broadway St, Portland Oregon: a handful of neighborhood activists gathered, mid-afternoon, to protest the murder of Renee Nicole Good, which occurred the day before. Captured in this photo, standing on the left, a woman in a lavender coat holds a sign with Renee’s full name at the top, with a hand-painted portrait of her below. To the right a seated woman holds two signs: one bears the word ‘Justice’, framed by two bloodied hands.. the other reads ‘Stop ICE !’ . To her right a sign ‘No hay Paz sin Justicia’ - there is no peace without justice- rests against a lamppost.
As they departed this street action the activists learned that an ICE-related shooting had just occurred in a neighborhood 5-6 miles to the east, with agents having injured two people.

Friday afternoon, Jan 9: apprx 70 activists gathered for the weekly street action along SE McLoughlin Blvd in Milwaukie Oregon, a city just south of Portland. This photo includes.. eight? protesters: prominent amongst them are a citizen accompanied by a large white dog, & holding a placard,
“We stand with Minneapolis”; it also bears the name of murdered citizen Renee Nicole Good.
Also present: a white unicorn with a rainbow mane and tail.
