This weekend SRI members attended Resistance Bootcamp, 2 days of activist training, put on by E. Portland Indivisible, along with 10 other area chapters & @coin-indivisible.bsky.social.

One breakout was “Caftivism.” So good for the soul!

#ResistanceArt #ResistanceBootcamp #nonviolentresistance

One of our wonderful mentors, helping us make No Kings flags, donning the Statue of Liberty crown she's encouraging us to crochet ourselves.

A group of folks engaging in “Craftivism." Creating resistance art is good for the soul and important to the movement.

Oregon Public Broadcasting video: It's important for the public to know that the protests are taking place in a very small area, at the ICE facility, not throughout Portland and that the protestors are peaceful and are being tear gassed and pepper balled for no apparent reason.

U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut rejected the federal government’s assertion that Portland faces a “danger of rebellion” and said she wasn’t persuaded by the U.S. Justice Department’s argument that “regular forces” are unable to execute federal law.

National Guard troops temporarily blocked from deploying to Portland, judge rules

While the U.S. president is entitled to a great level of deference, that's not equivalent "to ignoring the facts on the ground," the judge wrote.

Our Oregon MoCs are holding strong on two fronts—in standing up for our healthcare despite Government shutdown and in pushing back against Trump’s illegal nationalization of the OR National Guard and deployment to Portland.

Let’s thank them and urge them to continue to fight!

Indivisible Oregon @indivisible-oregon.bsky.social · 8d

OR: Thank our Democratic MoCs for holding the line—protecting healthcare (Medicaid, ACA credits, research) and pushing back on Trump’s bid to seize the OR National Guard.
Tell them: keep fighting, keep naming the cruelty, block a MAGA shutdown.

Another Riot Art full of camaraderie, inspiration and fun, arty activities! We did all the things but this month we focused on resistance collage.

Remember, art is resistance!

Two sample of collage. One saying, in random style letters “this is not normal. What are you going to do about it?”

Hands cutting out pieces of magazine for collage.

“Instead of working with elected leaders across this country, the president is either purposefully ignoring the reality on the ground in Portland to score political points, or at best is recklessly relying upon social media gossip.” – AG Dan Rayfield

Since the public was not allowed to applaud during comment they used ASL silent applause and were supplied these signs to display at key moments.
