What has inspired me to go? Heather Heyer. Born 1985. Murdered in 2017 by James Fields who drove from Ohio to attend the Charlottesville neo nazi rally.
And now they are coming from all the parts of the country to Portland this weekend. The Mayor of the City, Ted Wheeler, has said he may ask Governor Kate Brown to call out the National Guard. He has already asked for help from the Oregon State Police and the FBI.
The media wants to portray this as the far right versus the far left. It is not. The citizens of Portland will be there. Rejecting the Proud Boys violence and the Patriot Prayer members who have organized rallies for Drumpf and set up snipers on rootops last summer.
Come out August 17th to resist the insurgent Far-Right and ongoing institutional repression.
Heather’s Mom. Here’s the link to a new video.
