Working Class: Let's Take Back Our Lives
News media in Portland report 4,000 to 5,000 people marched from the waterfront, through Old Town, up Burnside to Broadway, to Pioneer Courthouse Square and thence to Chapman Square in the heart of Portland’s financial district. Some Occupiers are still in place there; others are returning to the waterfront for a long occupation. Portland police bureau spokespersons are quoted on the local news saying they “won’t draw any lines in the sand” with regard to no-camping regulations that begin at midnight.
No arrests.
No property damage.
No confrontations with police.
Some crowd shots and pictures of creative signs….
(Please also see Cocktailhag’s great diary here.)

Thank you, Teddy.
I’m trying to figure out what messages to put on my husband & my sign for tomorrow’s “Occupy Wailuku” [Maui] gathering tomorrow.
[I'm sure it will get heavy coverage in the evening news & AP.]
Sweet!

Well done Teddy P and The People Of Portland!
Huzzah!
Well done? Heck, we’re nowhere being done. As one of the signs said: “The beginning is near!” :)
The “Corps are not people until Rick Perry executes one” got me to laugh. For some reason that makes me feel like a bad person.
Great! Love the sign about Perry.
Good on PDX. Looks like an impressive turnout for a weekday.
PDX had a hella good turnout.
