NORTHWEST East Oregonian A2 Thursday, January 17, 2019 Hardesty: protests due to ‘white male privilege’ PORTLAND (AP) — The first black woman to be elected to Portland’s city council says “white male privilege” is to blame for disruptions and rau- cous protests during council meetings. Jo Ann Hardesty, who joined the council this year, said the men act “disruptive, disrespectful and self-cen- tered,” and those behaviors may discourage first-tim- ers from visiting the coun- cil and participating in local politics. The longtime Port- land activist said she ran with a promise that anyone and everyone will have a “respectful interaction” with leaders at City Hall. “I am concerned about how privilege, and specifi- cally white male privilege, is limiting the public’s access to City Hall,” she said in a statement read at Wednes- day’s meeting. “There’s a chilling effect on persons who are unaccustomed to coming to City Hall to have their voices heard when they see and experience the dis- ruption that seems to be the new normal.” Hardesty spent years as a civil-rights activist before winning her council seat in November.

Oregon Public Broad- casting reports that several men who identify as police observers — “cop watchers” is a term they use for them- selves — and citizen jour- nalists have disrupted Port- land City Council meetings in the weeks since she took office. The men are not affiliated with the better-known grass- roots police reform organi- zation Portland Copwatch, and two have been subject to stalking orders for harassing city officials. Every member of the city council has complained about the disruptions, and now-former Commissioner Dan Saltzman said they con- tributed to his decision not to run for re-election. In 2015, after an activist sued, a federal judge ruled that the city’s policy of bar- ring particularly disruptive people from council meet- ings for months at a time FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY A little morning rain; cloudy Cloudy Mostly cloudy with a little rain Cloudy, a little rain; cooler Partly sunny 43° 38° 51° 42° PENDLETON TEMPERATURE FORECAST 52° 39° 45° 31° 44° 34° HERMISTON TEMPERATURE FORECAST 52° 41° 53° 41° 51° 33° 47° 38° OREGON FORECAST through 3 p.m. yest.
