Dear Jess,
I understand from your conversation with Chief Gautreau today that you are ending your
protest and dismantling the encampment. The City supports you in these efforts and is willing to
assist, as appropriate. I also want you to know that the City is hopeful that we can continue our
recent collaboration to help unhoused individuals in Portland access the housing and services
they need.
In the future, if you wish to have a protest of the same size and duration, you will need to
have prior approval to do so. Daily protests (not overnight) can be done with a permit from the
Parks and Recreation Department. Any overnight protest, a protest lasting more than three
days, or a protest attracting more than 2,000 individuals will require a permit from the City
Council.
Sincerely,
Jon P. Jennings,
City Manager
