Protests planned across Oregon for Trump’s inauguration anniversary

Protests against President Donald Trump are set to take place across Oregon on Tuesday, marking one year since Trump returned to the White House.

The events are likely to be the largest coordinated national effort since the “No Kings” rallies in 2025.

The “Free America Walkout” is part of a nationwide protest aimed at mobilizing people to stand up against the administration and protect the country from what organizers say is an “escalating fascist threat.”

Multiple walkout events are planned across the state, including a rally at Couch Park at 2 p.m. in Northwest Portland.

The Women’s March, a global movement focused on advocating for women’s rights, is among the groups organizing the nationwide protest.

According to its website, organizers are encouraging people to “walk towards a free America and away from fascism.”

“Those in power have escalated attacks on our rights, our bodies, and our livelihoods,” read a post on their website. “Walking out lets us stress-test our readiness for real, collective action—not just symbolic protest.”

Organizers are encouraging people to leave work or school early Tuesday. They’re also calling on business owners who are unable to close their doors to at least shut down for an hour at 2 p.m. in solidarity with the movement.

Additional walkout protests are also planned in Bend, Corvallis, Beaverton, Tigard and Sherwood as well as Vancouver, Washington.

The protests come just a little more than a week after Oregonians took to the streets to push back on Trump’s increased immigration enforcement. Those protests followed an incident in East Portland where two people were shot and injured by U.S. Border Patrol on Jan. 8.

A separate protest against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is also planned Tuesday at 5 p.m. at Lownsdale Square in downtown Portland.

They’re going to ramp up the hostility and hysteria more and more as we get closer and closer to our 250th birthday. These people are simply incapable of being happy.

Sure wish we could counter with a list of the prosecutions and convictions of the many, many people involved in the scandals, conspiracies and crimes committed since the Clinton years.

But, alas . . .

“The Women’s March, a global movement focused on advocating for women’s rights”

And not a word for the slaughter of women by the Iranian regime.

2020 stolen election = wrong to protest

2024 legitimate election = protest

There is no Constitutional right to “protest”.

Do they do anything ELSE in Oregon’s blue cities?

Do they accomplish anything objectively good?
