The Protests in Portland

The fence at the justice center seemed to grow larger. Some of the more radical leftist, b l m activists in portland criticized rose city justice and their insistence onqut peaceful protest over direct action that might damage police property. Gregory mc kelvey, vice chair of organ dams, black caucas and former organizer, pushed back on some of that criticism. He was also organizing on a new front: leading a grass root style campaign for political newcomer sarah ionerone to take down incumbent mayor ted wheeler. Many portlanders felt wheeler had failed on his promise to deliver fundamental change on issues of housing and pleace reform.
