Stand With Portland Protesters Defending Democracy

This week, hundreds of Portlanders — families, neighbors, faith leaders, and longtime activists — came together outside the city’s ICE building to peacefully protest Donald Trump’s unlawful deployment of National Guard troops.

The demonstrations were filled with resilience and community spirit. Parents brought children on bikes, music and chants echoed through the streets, and people linked arms in solidarity. Their message was hopeful and determined: we believe in a democracy where every community can live free from intimidation and fear.

Even as federal agents attempted to escalate, the people of Portland stood strong. Organizers reminded us that these are not “dangerous protesters” as Trump claims — but everyday citizens, veterans’ families, and community members who care deeply about protecting their rights and their city.

Add your name to stand with Portland protesters, celebrate their courage, and defend the right to peaceful protest against Trump’s unlawful militarization.
