HAPPENING NOW! The Medford Police Department is currently arresting peaceful campers in Hawthorn Park. So far arrestees include camp residents, media, and camp volunteers. Individuals impacted by the fires have been sheltering at the park since September 9th, receiving essential aid and supports in the absence of other options for previously houseless individuals.

Tonight at 8 is there a vigil for RBG at the courthouse in Medford

"Although the day was full of heated yelling matches, threats and name-calling — many involving heavily armed people — it ended by early afternoon with little to no violence. Protestors walked to their cars in groups to ensure their safety. Meanwhile, a leftover group of counter-protestors glared from across the street, one of them unsuccessfully trying to revive a dead motorcycle engine that had overheated after a day of loud revving." 🤣🤣🤣

What was initially planned to be a family-friendly cookout at a public park in Rogue River turned into a Black Lives Matter protest in front of city hall Saturday afternoon.

Copied from a friend added some other things I heard from Medford residents on 8/22/20:

A couple of things that were yelled at us by the so called “Patriots” of Medford, Oregon:
“Silence is consent”
"No Kosher USA"
“What are you going to do when I fu***ng r**e you?”
“White lives matter”
“Go back home f*g”
"Go back to Africa"
“USA USA USA USA”
“F**king commies”
“Save the Children”
“You’re gonna get r**ed”
“What are you gonna do when your children are fu***ng r**ed?”

A list of our chants
“What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!”
“End the sweeps!”
“Ignore their bullsh*t”
“This is what democracy looks like”
“We are Love”
“Black Lives Matter”
“Brown lives Matter”
“Indigenous Lives matter”
“Your life matters”
“No Justice No Peace”

So tell me, please, how I’m the one doing the wrong thing here. Tell me how the group trying to end illegal sweeps and trying to bring equity to all and accountability to the officers that are abusing their powers, how are we in the wrong?
