Black Portland Protesters Write Open Letter Urging Allies to Stop Doing Damage to Movement On 4/21/21 at 4:03 PM EDT The open letter was published on Tuesday, in We Out Here Magazine (WOHM),a Northwest hip-hop lifestyle magazine, in response to "ongoing behavior seen as detrimental to Black Liberation." The letter comes as Portland remains an active site for protests against police killings. Last summer, the city gained national attention after the murder of George Floyd, when several protests turned into rioting. On Tuesday, Portland activists said that while there is "no excuse" for police to murder citizens, allies of the protest movement should not be actively doing damage to communities and resources.
