“Women in the developing world
are making a special call on wom-
en on the U.S. to make the spirit of
International Women’s Day against
our president, who embodies the
capitalist patriarchy in many ways,”
local organizer Alyssa Pariah told
the Portland Observer.
Pariah is a leader of Don’t
Shoot Oregon, the civil rights
group that organized the rally
and a local organization that was
born in 2014 in response to police
shootings of unarmed black men
across the country.
Local students, stay-at-home
mothers, sexual assault victims,
and small business owners spoke
to the large crowd at Pioneer
Courthouse Square for about an
hour addressing issues such as un-
equal pay, sexual assault, and vio-
lence against women. The crowd
then marched in the streets hold-
ing signs and blocking traffic until
they concluded at the waterfront
about an hour later.
