  5. @bmacDonald94

    Last fall, i was the only protester for a #StopTheSweeps and got swept 3 times. This morning I and one other vet started this illegal protest. Illegal because #Portland OR says i cant have a tent in public space from 8am to 8pm.

    The differnce here is i expect to be murdered by the oppressors with badges because it is #Illegal2BHomeless in #AmeriKKKa yet #TheSilenceContinues

  7. CW: Terrorist attack!!!

    A protest is illegal when a #homeless person is doing it in #AmeriKKKa

    In 2 years in the US Army stationed in Germany for Desert Storm, i never met a foreign terrist but in 14 years on the streets of the this country, I've met A LOT of them with badges.

    For the 3rd time, a tent protesting sweeps is taken without a search warrant. Videos following.

  9. #Illegal2BHomless all across the country and here are some FACTS about #PDX #Portland area that no one gives a shit about, including the mayor who is increasing sweeping people like the trash this city thinks we are. If people gave a shit, they would be protesting and fighting the terrorists.

  11. 2nd time I don't have a right to protest. A right to a search warrant... not one person is willing to stop these terrists.

    Sweeps IS Terrorism.

    Demand City of Portland and Multnomah County Focus Spending on Pathways to Housing and Support

    Welcome Home Coalition is an alliance of over 100 individuals and organizations advancing housing justice in the Portland Metro region. On October 23rd, 2025, Welcome Home Coalition and Sisters of the Road released a groundbreaking report, Finding Home: Lasting Housing Solutions Rooted in Community Expertise, which systematically captures the perspectives of over 650 people experiencing homelessness in Portland Metro on the housing solutions they want and need. Advised by researchers from Portland State University and Oregon Health & Science University, the two-year study followed high ethical and academic standards and grounded in lived experience.

    Finding Home clearly shows us what the people most impacted by housing instability and homelessness need — through their own voices. Their message is clear. When given the choice, people overwhelmingly want permanent housing they can afford, with the supports and freedoms that make it possible to stay housed. Finding Home survey respondents ranked shelter as equally undesirable as living outside. We can’t afford to keep investing in partial solutions.

    We are asking the Portland City Council to stop funding mass shelter expansion and the harmful sweeps of tents and RVs. Instead, the council should listen to the perspectives of people most impacted and put funding towards long-term housing solutions. Budgets reflect our shared values. Choose housing and support, not more harm.

    The signers of this petition urge the City of Portland and Multnomah County to enact the following proven solutions supported by Finding Home: Lasting Housing Solutions Rooted in Community

    Expertise:

    (1) Honor the self-identified needs of people with community expertise and shift funding used for encampment sweeps and RV removals to eviction prevention rent assistance to stop more people and families from falling into homelessness in our region.

    (2) Reallocate any funding currently left for congregate shelter expansion into rent assistance and peer support, and prioritize all future investments to ensure existing 24-hour shelters and day centers have funds for rent assistance, peer support, and case management staff to create pathways to housing for current shelter guests.

    (3) Increase the number of permanently affordable homes quickly by using public funds to purchase existing apartment buildings and hotels from the private sector and convert them to non-market housing. This strategy has already created hundreds of lower-cost rental homes, permanently protected from market speculation.

    Portland has about 3,000 places (beds) for a homeless people to go to get rest and stay out of the weather. Portland has over 7,500 people living on the streets.

    Portland continues to chase people around the city even though there is NO PLACE TO GO, many who swore to defend the US Constitution. These actions of running people out of public space, taking their things they need to survive, and even fining and jailing them, are unconstitutional!!! In no place in the constitution does it say they can not be in public space. Portland has a long history of standing up against those who would harm others, unless the victim is homeless. With the President of the United States (1) now directing federal agents to go after homeless people across the entire country, we need to be protecting people even more then ever. The methods that have been used for decades do not work and without sufficient places for people to go, you are making it harder for people to survive not to mention get off the streets. Mayor Wilson even admits that he is NOT helping with this article (2) and is increasing the harassment (3).

    In case you don't know the Amendments, the ones that are violated daily are:
    First Amendment
    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    Fourth Amendment
    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    Eighth Amendment
    Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

    Why is this important?
    Until there is more then enough places for people to go, these sweeps are putting citizens of Portland in danger either from someone who hates others or simply bad weather conditions.

    Homeless people should have the same rights as all people in the USA.

    I'm still alive 😁

    Today, a group of people are doing a protest for #StopTheSweeps (day 2 for them) Tomorrow is St John's Boosters, Fall Fling, a group that hates #homeless people.

    Yesterday, I got tagged for a sweep. The fun will probably be tomorrow with the Fall Fling event is. Or Sunday when my 72 hours is up.

    I'm NOT moving and they are going to hate me, 😂
    Bodies for blocking the terrorists of #Portland are definitely welcome.

  33. Portland area friends…

    If you can make it out to help hold the line with unhoused folks in St. John’s, it would mean a lot to them. Hold the new mayor to his campaign promises.

  35. So my "illegal camping" site that is a protest site for #StopTheSweeps can be swept anytime after 9:30 am on 9/28. This is homeless people not having constitutional rights.

    Boost/reboost please and stop by the square in #StJohns to see if they've violated three amendment of the US #Constitution yet.

    As we were setting up the protest posters and information table, they came and tagged my "tent" for sweeping. #Portland #StJohns #PDX

    Any time after Saturday (9/28) at 9:30 am, they will be sweeping a PROTEST tent. Anyone and everyone, come here to the St John's clock tower and surround the tent like Chicago does against ICE *IF* you give a fuck about your neighbors or aren't #homeless people good enough?

    I can tell you exactly why:
    #Trump declared all #homeless people are #Illegal2BHomeless in #AmeriKKKa with this:
    whitehouse.gov/presidential-ac

    And people even on the #Fediverse are ignoring 771,000 people.

    Minneapolis had 13 people shot but blame the homeless and sweep them (no investigation). Portland had 2 people stabbed (barely a story in #StreetRoots).

  38. Thanks so much for the help so far, we're half way there!

    Just another $55 can get this couple's RV a new tire which will greatly increase their self sufficiency and reduces the risk of police contact.

    It would be really amazing to be able to knock out this tire repair tomorrow, can we raise the last bit tonight?

    $45 / $100
