I want people to know that when our brave, beloved friend left this world she was not alone. I was with her. I was holding her and stroking her head and holding her hand and talking to her. She wasn’t alone. I don’t know what comfort there is in that but she wasn’t alone.

Her name was June Knightly. She was a protector of the innocent, an advocate for the vulnerable, a beautiful person, and my dear friend. She died putting herself between a dangerous man and three unarmed women, including me. Say her name today.

A solemn reminder that even in times of grief & crisis, it is never in the best interest of you or your community to speak freely with the police. If you are approached or asked to make a comment, demand a lawyer be present. And as always, reach out to us if you need any support


We’re hurting together, please use this time to have grace for one another. We need to get through this as a community, this is not the time to place blame on comrades. Thank you to the medics and everyone who did what they could, you’re the backbone.

Hotline is open. Non jail line: 833-680-1312 Jail line: 971-247-1072


Hot line is up and running. Check on all your people tonight, have a person who’s going to be waiting to hear if you’re home safe. Hold your comrades close tonight Portland.

Its important that our support for prisoners isnt contingent on if a person did or didn’t do the “crime” they’re convinced of. The entire movement falls apart as soon as we attach a lesser value to people who “broke the law” Every comrade serving time is worthy of your attention

While many are seeing release, many others are getting ready for trial and/or plea deals, then sentencing. It will be decades before our work of supporting these comrades concludes. Love & solidarity to all the individuals, AGs, and orgs committed to seeing this thru to the end!

We're moving into the post uprising time frame where people jailed (some since 2020) are finally being released. Support doesn't end when someone gets out, it's a continual process of care, intention and long-term dedication. Please donate to help Shawn after their release.



Now!

Important discussion this Sunday on body cameras with @PCCEPportland I personally don’t believe body cameras will improve our current situation until we redress organization culture and building/following the best policies. Trust is built through actions, not cameras.

Community forum on the topic of body worn cameras for police: join the Compliance Officer/Community Liaison (COCL) & PCCEP on Sunday Jan. 23rd at 6pm. More info below - please share! portlandoregon.gov/pccep/article/… #Portland #BWC #Community

A black family needs help with funeral costs after losing a loved one. He was tragically murdered in Dec and is leaving behind a sister and three kids. They have not had money to bury him and he is still at the morgue 💔 Cashapp: $breonalane venmo: @/Breonalane

🚨 Prisoner Hisham Abu-Hawash, who was on a 141-day hunger strike, will be free on February 26. An amazing victory. Now we must focus our efforts on protesting the draconian Israeli practice of “administrative detention” (imprisoning people indefinitely without charges or trial).
