| '''IMPORTANT: Occupy Portland to join Portland Marathon in massive walk/run all day on Sunday! ''' 
: The FBI collaborated with other federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and Naval Investigative Criminal Services, to keep tabs on the movement, which it considered a potential criminal and domestic terrorism threat.
Sunday, October 9 · 2:00pm - 6:00pm
Location
The Park at the East Side of the Broadway Bridge
NE Broadway
Portland, Oregon


Tomorrow a group of occupiers from Occupy Portland and their friends, families and allies, including marathon runners, will be marching in support of the Portland Marathon and in solidarity with the Occupations all across the continent. Everyone in Portland is invited to march with us.

We will converge at the park at the eastern end of the Broadway Bridge at 2:00 pm and begin marching shortly after the last runner of the Portland Marathon has crossed the bridge. We will follow the route of the marathon south on Naito Parkway and join our friends back at our camp in Chapman Square when the Portland Marathon operations have concluded.

The purpose of this and other [[Occupy Portland]]-related work on [[PortlandWiki]] is to provide a central organizing space for all relevant information and work related to this gathering that anyone can access and contribute to. '''This is a "leaderless movement"; we are ''all'' involved in the work details.'''
| NewsRight =


Occupy Portland is leaderless, but not structure-less.  The central and primary web site for the movement is '''[http://occupyportland.org/ OccupyPortland.org]''' -- so if you want to help organize, you also need to be there.  If you want to ask a basic question or get a quick orientation, the best place is probably the Occupy Portland [http://www.facebook.com/groups/284344344909229/ Facebook page].

* '''16:10, 8 October 2011 (PDT):''' [[Chapman Square]] is crowded with occupiers, their tents and other supplies. Lots of activities happening all over the [[Chapman Square|occupied square]]: classes (or maybe teach-ins), sign making, play activities for children, singing, organizing, etc. A loud generator is providing much-needed power. Would be great to replace with solar panels that could provide equivalent power supply. The library is has a bigger stock of books that was observed yesterday. So much food available that you'd have to ''try'' to go hungry. In fact, [[User:WikiMaster|an observer]] was handed fresh fruit by a [[Food Not Bombs]] volunteer while also accepting new donations to the [[Occupy Portland]] library at the same time. Many impromptu, spontaneous and intelligent discussions happening everywhere, often made up of participants who otherwise have little in common with each other. [[User:WikiMaster|An observer]] heard first hand from people quit their jobs to join the occupation, and know of others who did the same. Lots of awareness about the necessity of creating our own media and our own economy. Lots of spontaneous organization happening continuously. This is a ''movement''.
* '''21:38, 7 October 2011 (PDT):''' By mid-evening the mood at [[Chapman Square]] looked, felt and sounded celebratory and relaxed. Many families with children were present; most apparently having a great time. Lots of people engaged in activity ranging from light-hearted play to serious discussions. The 7:00 p.m. general assembly appeared to cycle through issues and discussions more productively, and appeared to avoid getting too bogged down--a step forward from the previous evening's GA.
* '''08:50, 7 October 2011 (PDT):''' Reports aired over [[KBOO]] Radio's ''Positively Revolting'' program have indicated that protesters have come to a decision to consolidate in [[Chapman Square]], located in Portland's [[Plaza Blocks]], the downtown park situated across from [[Portland City Hall]].<ref>[http://maps.google.com/maps?q=chapman+square+portland&hl=en&ll=45.516211,-122.678018&spn=0.022283,0.054288&hq=chapman+square&hnear=Portland,+Multnomah,+Oregon&t=m&z=15&vpsrc=0 Chapman Square]</ref>
Camp residents still remained in [[Chapman Square]] as of noon, and held a general assembly to decide what to do next.

== About Occupy Portland ==
=== Occupy Oregon Statewide Strategy Work Group ===
Occupy Portland is Portland's answer to the [[wikipedia:Occupy Wall Street|Occupy Wall Street]] movement happening in New York City. The demonstration of solidarity with the Wall Street protesters will begin at noon on Thursday, October 6th, 2011 with a march out of SW [[Waterfront Park]]. Following the march, a public space in Portland will be "occupied" and used a a central location for meetings, events, and communications. (For logistical reasons, the exact location of the occupation site has not yet been announced.)
Emerging national strategy calls for state Occupation groups nationwide to occupy their capitols to begin dialogues with legislators. Occupation movements from each of the states will be responsible for initiating that process.


From the [http://OccupyPortland.org official website]:
FOR has partnered with the Wall Street Occupation since its beginning. In October, 2011 the Oregon chapter of FOR ([[Oregon Fellowship of Reconciliation|OFOR]]) offered [[Occupiers OFOR Free Retreat this Weekend-Nonviolent Statewide Strategies|free registration to their Annual Retreat]] to [[Occupy Oregon]] participants from [[Portland]], [[Salem]], [[Eugene]], [[Corvallis]], [[Ashland]] and all [[Oregon Occupations]] to convene a work group to develop a statewide strategy and proposals for their respective Occupation groups.<ref>[[Occupiers OFOR Free Retreat this Weekend-Nonviolent Statewide Strategies]]</ref> OFOR is also interested in the Occupy consensus-based process.
<blockquote>
''"We will gather in solidarity with the ongoing protest in New York City, Occupy Wall Street, and the growing number of cities whose people will no longer sit back watching corporate and special interests run their government. We are citizens of the United States, and this country is ours. We will take it back."''

A note about Occupy Portland on PortlandWiki:
=== Right 2 Survive | Right 2 Dream Too (R2D2) ===
: '''Q:''' Is the information here on PortlandWiki a redundant replication of data presented on Occupy Portland’s web site, facebook page, twitter feed, etc?
'''[[Right 2 Survive]]''' has set up a camp advocating for houseless people, [[Right 2 Dream Too]] '''[[Right 2 Dream Too|(R2D2)]]''' at the corner of [[NW 4th Avenue]] and [[West Burnside Street]] on the vacant lot next to the [[Chinatown]] gate.  The site officially opened on Monday, October 10th, 2011 which is National Homeless Day. The organizers are extending an open invitation to the community to come down and celebrate National Homeless Day at their new camp.<ref>[http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2011/10/411123.shtml Another - Portland Occupation]</ref>
: '''A:''' Some of it may be but the point is to ensure that everyone has access to information in many forms. Not everyone uses Facebook or Twitter (or knows how to), or can make sense of the different levels of information on the various Occupy sites.  The Occupy Portland work here on the wiki adds value by consolidating, digesting, archiving, expanding and organizing material found on various websites, discussion groups, social media feeds, and so on.

On Sunday, November 13, 2011, Portland Police evicted protesters from Occupy Portland's encampment at Lownsdale and Chapman Squares (aka, the "Plaza Blocks").
Between 5000 and 6000 supporters rallied at Occupy Portland's Plaza Blocks encampment late Saturday night, postponing the planned midnight eviction until Sunday morning.

Other Groups and Events

Occupy Oregon Statewide Strategy Work Group

Emerging national strategy calls for state Occupation groups nationwide to occupy their capitols to begin dialogues with legislators. Occupation movements from each of the states will be responsible for initiating that process.

FOR has partnered with the Wall Street Occupation since its beginning. In October, 2011 the Oregon chapter of FOR (OFOR) offered free registration to their Annual Retreat to Occupy Oregon participants from Portland, Salem, Eugene, Corvallis, Ashland and all Oregon Occupations to convene a work group to develop a statewide strategy and proposals for their respective Occupation groups.[1] OFOR is also interested in the Occupy consensus-based process.

Right 2 Survive | Right 2 Dream Too (R2D2)

Right 2 Survive has set up a camp advocating for houseless people, Right 2 Dream Too (R2D2) at the corner of NW 4th Avenue and West Burnside Street on the vacant lot next to the Chinatown gate. The site officially opened on Monday, October 10th, 2011 which is National Homeless Day. The organizers are extending an open invitation to the community to come down and celebrate National Homeless Day at their new camp.[2]

Statement of Purpose

The purpose of this and other Occupy Portland-related work on PortlandWiki is to provide a central organizing space for all relevant information and work related to this gathering that anyone can access and contribute to. Occupy Portland is a "leaderless movement" engaged in direct democracy. We are all involved in working out the details in how this movement is organized. To view upcoming events that Occupy Portland and/or other sponsoring organizations that share the same vision as OP, please view the Occupy Portland Events page. To contact an OP events coordinator, please email actioncommitteepdx@googlegroups.com. We love working with like-minded organizations and create a greater presence while trying to make our collective voices heard.

Occupy Portland is leaderless, but not structureless. The central and primary web site for the movement is OccupyPortland.org. To help organize, please consider OccupyPortland.org or the General Assembly as primary information resources. To ask a basic question or get a quick orientation, please check out the Occupy Portland Facebook page.

About Occupy Portland

Occupy Portland is Portland's answer to the Occupy Wall Street movement happening in New York City. The demonstration of solidarity with the Wall Street protesters will begin at noon on Thursday, October 6th, 2011 with a march out of SW Waterfront Park. Following the march, a public space in Portland will be "occupied" and used a a central location for meetings, events, and communications. (For logistical reasons, the exact location of the occupation site has not yet been announced.)

From the official website:

"We will gather in solidarity with the ongoing protest in New York City, Occupy Wall Street, and the growing number of cities whose people will no longer sit back watching corporate and special interests run their government. We are citizens of the United States, and this country is ours. We will take it back."

A note about Occupy Portland on PortlandWiki:

Q: Is the information here on PortlandWiki a redundant replication of data presented on Occupy Portland’s web site, facebook page, twitter feed, etc?
A: Some of it may be but the point is to ensure that everyone has access to information in many forms. Not everyone uses Facebook or Twitter (or knows how to), or can make sense of the different levels of information on the various Occupy sites. The Occupy Portland work here on the wiki adds value by consolidating, digesting, archiving, expanding and organizing material found on various websites, discussion groups, social media feeds, and so on.
