July 29, 2013

By Sara Hottman, The Oregonian, July 29, 2013 For decades, the sidewalk outside Portland City Hall has been home to a rotating population of protesters who push the limits of the city’s 32-year-old camping ban. Homeless campers stay for weeks or months to protest war, homelessness policies or the anti-camping law itself. Last week, in […]

By Steve Duin, The Oregonian, July 13, 2013 Occupy Portland continues to ally with Portland’s homeless, periodically joining them at the 4th & Madison campsite.  Just like 2011, the 2013 campsite has a surplus of donated food – and drugs, and trash. Just like 2011, City Hall is trying to ignore the whole thing.  –Eds.

By Denis Theriault, The Portland Mercury, Jan. 16, 2013 The thought was hard to escape. If life had gone just a little bit differently—if the feds had waited to crack down on Portland cops for years of rough treatment of the mentally ill, if Occupy Portland hadn’t sprouted right when it did in 2011, if […]

By Jake Thomas, Street Roots, March 15, 2012 A common pattern often emerges after a citizen dies at the hands of police. There is public rage. The city promises reform, and then the rage simmers off until the next incident. Less noticeable, however, is the constant work of people dedicated to bringing reform to the […]

By Denis C. Theriault, Portland Mercury, March 01, 2012 It was about 9pm on a blustery, rain-soaked Tuesday night — and, yet, thanks to a horde of Mardi Gras revelers, Old Town was unusually festive.

Putting our arms around homelessness

November 22, 2011

| Uncategorized

From The Oregonian Editorial Board, November 21, 2011 NOTE: This editorial, like Portland’s Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness, misses an essential point: the cause of most chronic homelessness is untreated or mistreated addiction or mental illness. Until engaging and worthwhile mental and addiction health services are available on demand, ‘ending’ homelessness is unlikely. The […]
