Outraged does not mean a vigil on quiet street in NE Portland. Outrage is at Pioneer Square in absolute protest to the inhuman treatment to members in our community. We need a march. We need to be in the street. This is call for a rally and stories to be told. Civil Rights movement was not passive and we shold not be either. OUTRAGE lead the way BRO!

who already know about it would see it.
