So far all has been very peaceful in Portland.Their is good communication between the Mayors office and Police dept.Haven't heard of any violent actions by police or demonstrators.Hopefully we can set the tone for others:
There was already a running marathon planned for the same day.

We have an announcement!
Tomorrow we march! We march with the mayor's office, the Portland police department and the Portland marathon chief officers. The mayor's office graciously invited us to join the race, behind the runners at 2:30PM. We follow them from the Rose Quarter, over the Broadway Bridge, along Naito Parkway, West on SW Jefferson to SW 4th to the occupied Chapman Park/camp/headquarters.
Together the city will join in celebration of John Lennon's birthday, singing his famous song, "Imagine."
Imagine all the people, living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you will join us,
and the World will live as One."
