Occupy Portland is a nonviolent movement for accountability in the United States government. At 12PM on October 6th, 2011 we will assemble at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, 1020 Southwest Naito Parkway in Portland, OR.
We will gather in solidarity with the ongoing protest in New York City, Occupy Wall Street, and the growing number of cities whose people will no longer sit back watching corporate and special interests run their government. We are citizens of the United States, and this country is ours. We will take it back.
It is no longer enough to vote and to participate in the political system because our political system has been altered drastically from its intended and proper function. Currently, we are allowed to pick from a few candidates whose campaigns are funded more and more by large organizations, corporations, and special interests. The success of their campaigns depends largely on how the corporate mass media presents them. When our elected officials enter office they then pander to the small groups responsible for their election. Even good men and women cannot make real improvements that benefit the American people.
We are one city in a growing national movement of people who no longer feel that their government works in their best interest. We will assemble on October 6th to demonstrate peaceful, substantive democracy and work for real change.

There are still so many people who don’t even know what is going on.the media won’t say shit. This is an outrage! Sooner or later the lamestream will have to listen because some people may be sleeping on their desks, and in their lobbies, and maybe even in the news room.Why not?…..Go Wordgeezer…. >…….P.P………….
Everyone should dress well, if they can. Read this:
Zombies DO NOT get the attention the movement needs.
Howdy, P.P…There is no M$M news, only reality TV shows, if you don’t believe me check out Piers Morgan on CNN “conservative non news”. obey OBEY etc.
I’ll be going to Portland tomorrow to put in my 2 cents and hopefully get some pictures…peace G:
“Everyone should dress well, if they can”
Give me a break, this is America. I,ve been wearing jeans and a sweat shirt for over 60 years now, and still do today. There are demonstraters at Wall Street in postal workers clothes, airline pilots in their uniforms, hippies in their comfortable attire, old folks in their gardening clothes, even folks with suits and ties, and yes, even zombies; but I’ll be damned if i’ll be wearing khaki’s and polo shirts. My gawd , man, the folks there might mistake me for Newt Gingrich… 😆
