Indeed, [[Portland Police Bureau|Portland Police]] clad in paramilitary style riot gear began chasing protesters from [[Shemanski Fountain]], [[Occupy Portland|OP]]'s fledgling reoccupation site, at about 9:00 p.m., merely four hours after protesters ended their march through downtown Portland and assembled there. The remaining mass of protesters took to the streets and marched to City Hall, where one brave protester climbed onto the City Hall roof, erected a tent there, and waiting several hours while the police and fire department fumblingly attempted to remove him/her. After a confrontation with police, protesters marched to [[Right 2 Dream Too]]'s encampment on [[NW 4th Avenue]] and [[West Burnside Street]], then circled around back to Shemanski Park, where they re-re-occupied the park ''en masse''. Police were then ordered to leave the Shemanski Park occupiers alone, as they had realized that keeping traffic open for marchers was more of a hassle than ignoring them in a disused park typically only frequented at night by drug dealers and homeless people.\n\nWith temperatures plummeting to near-freezing and no tents to break the chill breeze, or indication that a full reoccupation would resume (all 20 tents having been removed and/or destroyed during the violent police eviction), the numbers of occupiers dwindled to about 20 by Sunday morning.\n\nSunday evening saw another setback, when local drug dealers began fighting with occupiers for encroaching on what had been for many years their turf. Occupiers were not interested in fighting drug dealers and departed for a time.\n\nMonday morning saw two more individuals detained who were at [[Shemanski Park]][http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2011/12/one_arrest_this_morning_at_occ.html], though it is unclear from the Oregonian article if they were protesters or not.\n\nMonday evening, a large group of protesters were at Shemanski Park. Police had promised to enforce park curfew ordinances at 9pm.\n\nThese numerous setback did not dampened enthusiasm throughout the Occupy Movement for reclaiming public space. The remainder of this article hopes to evolve into a planning document for doing just that. While that's taking shape, it's also worthwhile to consider proposals, ideas and plans already circulating within and outside the movement.\n\n== Events ==\n* [http://unsettleportland.org/2011/12/04/save-the-datehouse/ Save the Date!/House!

It is a set of housing, economic development, and land-use policies designed to disperse low-income populations. Deconcentration of the poor is achieved through slum clearance, aggressive tax collection, and code enforcement resulting in foreclosure or condemnation of slum buildings. Section 8 Certificate and Voucher programs, which encourage relocation by providing the poor with portable housing allowances, is a more recent spatial deconcentration tactic. Since the targets of such policies are often poor minorities, theorists speculate that the policies' goal is to re-establish white, middle-class dominance in the inner-cities. Although spatial deconcentration theory did not surface until 1980, it has implications that relate to the inner city abandonment that escalated after the Kerner Commission released its 1968 report. The theory also provides an explanation for the slum clearance and urban renewal policies of earlier decades.\u201d\n\n* [http://www.abcnorio.org/about/history/spatial_d.html SPATIAL DECONCENTRATION by Yolanda Ward]\n: This article is based on material that is publicly available, especially the \"Report of the National Advisory Commission on Civic Disturbances,\" known as the Kerner Commission Report. However, it is also based on materials not publicly available, specifically a number of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) files which Ms. Ward and her collaborators apparently stole from the HUD office in Washington, D.C. ''Spatial Deconcentration'' was first published as part of a collection of notes for a national housing activists' conference held in Washington, D.C. No more than 500 copies were made at that time. Shortly after this first publication, Ms. Ward and two associates were accosted on a Washington street one night by two well-dressed white men, who singled out Ms. Ward from her two friends, ordered her at gunpoint to lie face down in the street, and then shot her in the back of the head. The documents she and her friends allegedly stole from HUD have never been published, nor are they included here.\n\n* [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Unite_and_Resist_Campaign/message/1532 *From the Ramparts* Junious Ricardo Stanton *Spatial Deconcentration, Katrina and New Orleans*]\n: (Medley of article snippets related to spatial deconcentration.)\n\n== External Links ==\n* [http://reclaimportland.wordpress.com/about/ Reclaim!

Lets face this issue head on. Americans do not trust or respect the government anymore. And for good reason. The marriage of corporations and government agencies has removed the citizens ability to control either the politicians they elect or the legislation that those politicians pass. This means that to create any real change many Americans have decided to simply take the streets. Since Occupy Wall St. began on Sept 17th we\u2019ve seen real political issues finally come to the forefront of national attention. Issues such as corporate personhood, wealth inequality, the wars, the war on drugs, immigrant rights, universal education, universal healthcare, and class warfare. That being said we have many detractors both inside and outside the movement that would love for Occupy to become a \u201clegit\u201d organization. These detractors will often say that camping solves nothing and that in order to further the agenda we must incorporate and begin courting politicians. They couldn't be farther from the truth.\n\n== See Also ==\n* [[Neighborhood Assembly]]\n* [[Reoccupation - 3 December 2011]]\n* [[Foreclosure]]\n* [[Re-Occupy Your Public Space On Martin Luther King Junior Holiday]]\n* [[Make Revolution Not War]]\n* [[Represent The People]]\n* [[Right 2 Dream Too]]\n* [[Right 2 Survive]]\n\n== References ==\n{{Reflist}}\n\n[[Category:Occupy Portland]]\n[[Category:Homes]]\n[[Category:Housing]]\n[[Category:Human rights]]\n[[Category:Occupy Together]]\n[[Category:Organizing]]\n[[Category:Right 2 Dream Too]]\n[[Category:Right 2 Survive]]\n[[Category:Problems]]\n[[Category:Street Protests, Rallies, Demonstrations]]"

And you have put no end date on your presence here. This is wise. Only when you stay put can you grow roots. This is crucial. It is a fact of the information age that too many movements spring up like beautiful flowers but quickly die off. It\u2019s because they don\u2019t have roots. And they don\u2019t have long term plans for how they are going to sustain themselves. So when storms come, they get washed away.\"\n<br /><br />\nOccupy Wall Street: The Most Important Thing in the World Now by Naomi Klein - October 7, 2011\n<br /><br />\nThe occupation movement is the most important movement of our lives. I get calls everyday from average middle American asking how they can help, calling to say they are so proud of everyone, some even coming to tears expressing that we just had to succeed.\n<br /><br />\nThe corporate media is seeking to claim that the police have successfully swept away or movement but as you know this is just the beginning. Reporters claiming that we have \"moved\" to walking from town to town or other valid actions that should be supported but the occupations are the action that is applying pressure and providing a space for innovation and community.\n<br /><br />\nWe have the corporations and their governments really freighted. They have a coordinated media and police campaign to shut us down but their logic while effective in the short run won't work for long if we continue to reclaim public space. Even if this means we must survive a wave of evictions at some point there will be another critical event, news of a national default or major bank failure, U.S. government failing to continue unemployment payments or government shut down. News that points to the fact that we are sliding into a great depression and harsh austerity policies are necessary to transfer more of our resources to the one percent. Our continued presence will provide a visible place for those not yet living at the occupations to join us as their personal situation changes or revulsion at the bold disregard shown by the corporate state is so strong they feel they must take action.\n<br /><br />\nAs has been the case in past years the media will start to announce that holiday sales just weren't as good as first predicted in mid January.  The re-writing of Martin Luther King Jr's legacy will be in full swing as usual, this year with special effort to ignore the fact that he would have been one of the first to sleep at Occupy Wall Street.\n<br /><br />\nIf there is a link it will be an attempt by the Democratic Party to strengthen the connection between King and Obama with their special effort to ignore the impact of Wall Street on the policies adopted or not adopted by the president over the past four years. It is time to dust off our copies of King's last book \"Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?\" and remind America that King would most likely be attending our General Assemblies and encouraging us to Re- Occupy Public Space after each eviction.\n<br /><br />\nWhat would be a more fitting way to celebrate the legacy of one of America's most dedicated nonviolent advocates for the 99% then to Re-Occupy Public Space during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday?\n<br /><br />\nThe hundreds of Occupations that have not been evicted or have returned can remind our communities that news of our demise was premature. For the other occupations that have been driven from public space we could return with large card board paintings of our tents and spend the holiday demonstrating the absurdity of clearing public space of our message at a time when half our people are struggling to survive according to the U.S. Census. America is not alone as we can see. The Euro zone is collapsing as resistance to bank bailouts continues. The Chinese and Indian economies are teetering and resistance is growing there as well.  People all over the world are resisting the austerity measures proposed by the One Percent. Economic leaders announce daily that the global economy is on the brink of disaster. If we don't shop our way out of this crisis 2012 will be the big end we have been promised. Or more likely the new beginning we know is necessary.  What is more important? Clean sidewalks and undisturbed lawns or the future of our country and the world?\n<br /><br />\nOur work is not finished. We have made it clear that we must take money out of politics and replace it with democracy. We are the lobby of the 99%  seeking a new economic and political system even as the current crisis continues to force our friends and family into poverty.\n<br /><br />\nJanuary's economic news and reality will dramatize the continued need for our occupations. Lets continue to talk and introduce some of these ideas at the next General Assembly.\n<br /><br />\nA. Organize a campaign of Re-Occupation during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday arriving first with paintings and other \"images\" of tents to challenge the logic of restrictions against tents in addition to all other types of culture jamming actions.\n<br /><br />\nB. Continue the global dialog seeking a transition from the current failed political and economic system to a post capitalist \"real\" democratic future.\n<br /><br />\nC. Strengthen inter occupation communication of ideas, solutions and calls for global days of action.\n<br /><br />\nD. Consider adopting some simple guidelines such as a dedication to nonviolence, that the food is free for everyone without restriction, that decisions will be make by consensus at the General Assembly and that drugs and alcohol are not to be consumed at the occupation.\n<br /><br />\nE. Encourage local officials to end their efforts to drive the occupations and tents off of public space with petitions, meetings, participation in public hearings and all other nonviolent actions. Remind city officials that the UN and other international organizations support our right to continue these very important occupations.\n<br /><br />\nIt is time for Obama Administration and city officials to stop their efforts to evict our occupations. Clean pavement and healthy lawns are not even close in importance as seeking solutions to the global crisis and as we can see our presence occupying public space has been the catalyst for this discussion.  We know this from first hand experience. Decades of marches, rallies, phone calls, letters, law suits and public comment at hearings just didn't push the debate into public conscience.  The occupations did and will if we don't let ourselves be pushed out of sight and out of mind. And I am sure your local Food Not Bombs group will be happy to do what they can to support the kitchens so don't worry about needing to eat.  We aren't going any where.\n<br /><br />\nThanks for your consideration.<br />\nKeith McHenry\n<br /><br />\nA modest proposal from Food Not Bombs co-founder Keith McHenry after speaking with other activists about our transition and the corporate media's attempt to clam our movement is history.  Not an official idea from a GA but hopefully one that will be discussed at your GA. I have been a participant in GA's, kitchens and resident of at least 15 occupations so far with more to come.\n<br /><br />\nARTICLES TO SUPPORT THE SPIRIT OF THIS PROPOSAL\n<br /><br />\nWhy Tents (Still) Matter for the Occupy Movement by Jen Schradie<br />\nhttp://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/11/24-1\n<br /><br />\nOccupy Wall Street: The Most Important Thing in the World Now by Naomi Klien<br />\nhttp://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/10/07-0\n<br /><br />\nTop GOP Strategist Admits He\u2019s \u2018Scared\u2019 Of Occupy Wall Street Because It\u2019s \u2018Having An Impact\u2019 by Zaid Jilani<br />\nhttp://www.commondreams.org/headline/2011/12/01-3#.TtfFTyYTztk\n<br /><br />\nU.N.
