We swung by Riverfront Park where there’s a bake sale to raise funds to help people affected by the wildfires. The event was organized by “patriots against racism,” mainly Epilogue Kitchen which has been involved in #BLM organizing. #Oregonfires #santiamfires #oregon #wildfire
The bake sale sold out after 1.5 hours. They are still handing out free masks & anti-racism info, plus registering people to vote. 100% of the proceeds will go to help with wildfire relief. #oregon #salemoregon #santiamfire #oregonfires #wildfire #oregonwildfires #wildfirerelief 
Approximately 15 people participated in a “[bike] ride for change.” They flew BLM flags and biked around the park. The event was organized in conjunction with the bake sale, by Rian Gayle, a Black, Deaf community leader. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #BLMprotests #salemor

On another note, the wildfire smoke is really heavy downtown right now and the air quality is extremely poor. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #clypiancoverage
A group of men with guns and paint guns just followed a group of apparent BLM protestors through the Capitol mall. The people left without any physical confrontation. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #clypiancoverage

One speaker from the Reopen Oregon Rally is talking about the need to fight child sex trafficking & change laws so that perpetrators serve more serious sentences for child sexual abuse both online & in person. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR

Gayle is discussing how officers fail to handle disabilities appropriately. He said that they are required to make accommodations for people with disabilities, however, often the officers fail to write back and forth with him, instead forcing Gayle to read their lips.
Gayle said that body cams are especially helpful in cases involving people with disabilities. He says that with auditory recordings there isn’t a proper record of conversations if the person is deaf. Body cams would record both what the officer said & what Gayle signed back.
Salem youth are now sharing some of their experiences with Salem police. Three young men shared how they had been racially profiled by officers. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #oregonprotests #blmprotests

Tony Villaneda said that he was 12 when officers pulled out their guns and ordered him to freeze as he was walking to the park. They then detained him. He said that “they were looking for ways to get [him] in trouble.” #Salem #BLmprotests #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests
“I remember it like it was yesterday. It happened a few years ago, but it’s still in my brain,” Tony Villaneda said about that incident. He also said that it was extremely traumatic. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #oregonprotests #blmprotests
