I am more than happy to announce that our zine is finally complete 🥰 If you've been wondering how exactly we make our shields, look no further💕➡️ https://t.co/gTZmQflNjA print & distribute freely :) We will have a bunch to hand out this week.
With love,
The PDX Shieldsmiths

More hypocrisy from cops

[Tracy Molina @KohzKah]

PPB were unlawfully shooting people in the head for fun. We have seen on multiple occasions where the Portland Police Bureau caused life threatening head juries.

[PDX Shieldsmiths @ShieldPDX]

apparently;

round, padded shields in the hands of protestors = an indicator that someone plans to fight

square, hard plastic shields in the hands of cops = inherently defensive

... sure ok

@meoffsomething @ProudBulba @RisingPDX @TawasiSoce @kmahoneylaw @dc_fnb much appreciated ! ❤️

[ridebloc @rideblocpdx]

we are a small group of comrades with cars. We provide rides to anywhere in the Portland/vancouver area for whatever needs.
can also provide transportation of supplies,supplies, etc.

feel free to shoot a DM for transportation!

@RisingPDX @po_tate_toes We don’t know shit about the rest of this conversation, but separately if someone around here was ever having a pool party and needed floating accessories for safety reasons it’s probably worth hitting us up to see if we know of some up for grabs

[PDX Shieldsmiths @ShieldPDX]

@Schmiggs1312 We made some good shit outta trash back in our day

(For the record, we know and vouch for these folks!)

[smoke bloc 💚 @smokeblocpdx]

It sure would be cool if @tedwheeler would do something that isn't harmful to our unhoused neighbors...

Until then, multiple mutual aid orgs have stepped up! Instead of holding your breath for #Portland to take positive action, support one of the orgs below 👇👇👇

@calpicostrawb @potato_bloc If y’all need advice on procuring barrels feel free to drop us a line!

[PDX Shieldsmiths @ShieldPDX]

@thegreatMassey We’ve still got a number of shields and would be happy to give some to the strikers (or folks headed to support the strikers) if they want em. -🦠

[PDX Shieldsmiths @ShieldPDX]

Each one of us loved doing what we could for this community over the past year & we hope to settle into new projects soon. After some much needed rest, of course.

With love,
The PDX Shieldsmiths
