4:30pm – Solovox
5:00pm — Rally at Pioneer Square. If you’ve been following the Occupation’s actions, you’ve probably rallied at Pioneer Square. We’re expecting thousands to take the square, as usual.
6:00pm — Occupotluck! This family friendly potluck invites you to bring a dish to share (am a mess kit to eat out of). As always, we encourage a diversity of food types (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, et cetera) and knowing the ingredients of your dish. Please, do not bring any alcohol or illegal activities to our family-friendly event in a public park.
8:00pm — FREE concert at Terry Schrunk Plaza featuring musicians from across the country in celebration of freedom and community!
11:00pm – Bike Swarm! Meet at 11:00 pm at Salmon Street Fountain on Saturday night and will then roll to the encampments. Organizers say they hope new groups continue to arrive on the streets surrounding Chapman and Lownsdale Squares each hour on the hour beginning at 11:00 pm because it’s unknown exactly what time the police might begin a raid or whether or not they’ll do it at all. More info here.
12:01am — Sit-in, bike-around and stand up in Chapman and Lownsdale Parks generally demonstrating our right to non-violently assemble. If you’re able to make it down for any part of Saturday, please come after midnight. It might be a cold and long night, so come with prepared and well rested. Special guest: The Portland Police Bureau, and other neighboring law enforcement agencies.

I made this flyer for tonight if you care to post / host / redistribute: http://twitpic.com/7djrhg/full
I used to support the “movement” but alas human nature has taken over and its now just a big mess. Protesting as pastime is not heroic. Folks, its time to move on and quick wasting taxpayer dollars. You’ve seemed to forget how easy it is to actually live in this town.
I will be working an overnight tonight, but I will be sending good vibes your way! Whatever the outcome, I do hope things go peacefully.
Many people support your goals, but your protest has run its course. Your message has been made. You have cost us taxpayers (the real 99%) hundreds of thousands of dollars and destroyed two city parks.
If those among you do not represent you, why haven’t you asked them to leave? If you allow those who are violent to occupy your movement, you will have lost what credibility you have left.
We’ve asked them to leave. However, we can not force them to stay out.
You should leave and let them face the cops. You will prove your non-violence and clearly set yourselves apart from those who simply want to make trouble.
Dear Anarchists,
Give those pigs hell
Sincerely,
A.C.A.B.
Hold the line. I plan to visit your Occupy on the 22nd of Nov.
Hold the line. I plan to visit on the 22nd of Nov.
why not stay in camp and defend the “principle” of living in a public park? oh that’s right it’s better to disrupt things in a passive-aggressive manner from the sidewalk.
May peace be with you. I will be there in spirit. Much respect.
Boston is watching. Keep it going!!!
