American SPCC is honored and excited to be hosting a youth-led town hall style meeting.
Come celebrate Universal Children’s Day on this 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC),
which will be universally ratified once the only outliers–the U.S., South Sudan, and Somalia–finally ratify this
treaty.
Learn from youth-led presentations, speak from an open mic, participate in a dialogue with elected officials and youth advocates,
as we work together to put the CRC and “The Bill of Rights for the Children and Youth of the City of Portland and Multnomah
County” into practice.

Knuckle Head: Portland: copwatching
an arrest on 10th ave.
I arrive when a man is being
stuffed into the police car. I was informed by a witness that said the "transit" police arrived and immediately called
out to the suspect as "Hey Knuckle Head".
After the arrest police sergeant, asks me for my name, what I saw and for
a copy of the video [or] a way to download it. I inform her that I am filming for police accountability, and when asked
for my name I would rather not give it up
100
people gathered in Holladay Park on Labor Day 8.1.14 in Portland Oregon in SOLIDARITY! with Ferguson Mo.
The march went across the street (in the street), then through the biggest indoor mall on the West
coast (Lloyd Center) and then back into the streets, (NE Broadway) blocking the entire street with no police in sight (thus
no violence) the 100 people walked toward the Broadway bridge, at 2:30 pm in solidarity w/ the request fro thos in Ferguson
the group stopped and blocked traffic. Although talk was to 'head to the bridge' a quick change in plan resulted in the "freeway
on-ramp going north to I-5 was shut down by a "Sit-In" for about 10 minutes".
Police
shooting a young unarmed man in Ferguson Missouri and the treatment of the community who rose up in protest over the killing
has caused national attention and outrage. Citizens of Portland Oregon gather in the park, out of concern for police accountability
and community safety. The stood in unity and in Solidarity with the community of Ferguson Missouri in public... to demand
and end to police violence and the abuse of their authority leveraged on the people they were sworn to protect and serve.
This gathering was open to anybody who wanted to speak. The rally started slowly and eventually grew in size with over 100
people. There is a Facebook page "Stop Don't Shoot Portland" and there will be an email list anybody can join to stay in contact
and to unite. [more info and links forthcoming asap]

Causing pain to a person in need, while sent to help them, is wrong!
Filmed on June 5 2014 in Portland Oregon on SW 10th & Salmon The man needed help ....this
is not the right type of help to provide to a person passed out on a sidewalk, the pain tactics used to move this man on the
ground to the van, by the Chier's employee were uncalled for and not necessary. A stretcher to roll the person who was unconscious
or passed out on, and then lifting them into the van would be more prudent, human and dignified. Hurting a person who is non
violent is not appropriate. Its a violation of this mans rights.
March for America - No Amnesty protesters (two) in Portland Oregon, are met by over 2 dozen folks who are against
their Immigration protest". The two March for America protesters debated principles with the "anti-protesters" who are standing
in solidarity with human rights issues and our southern neighbors who are impacted by US Trade agreements, US imperialism
borders and unjust laws.
