 AGQuBQnSEh\n\nOne lovely person has agreed to cork. \nWe need other 
 corkers AND if the crowd is large\, others to help watch all the bikes 
 since downtown might be crowded w/planned protests today.\n\nIt's going to
  be hot\, hot\, hot\, mid to upper 90s\, so prepare for that- extra water 
 bottles\, insulated water bottles\, ice blocks in insulated bags/coolers\,
  cooling towels\, spray water bottles\, battery operated fans\, 
 etc.\n\nAlso\, there are two other events happening now (we learned of 
 them yesterday long after we posted this event).\nEvent 1- ours\nEvent 2- 
 Another group will be protesting at City Hall and in Council Chambers

 **********************************************\n\nFamily Friendly\, Law 
 Abiding\, Peaceful\, Mellow ride from Colonel Summers Park to City Council
  Chambers to peacefully encourage City Councilors to revoke the permit for
  the I.C.E. Detention Office on Macadam Boulevard.\n\nPortland City 
 Council has the right and responsibility to revoke the I.C.E. permit. The 
 conditions of the permit requires that “the facility and its operations 
 will not pose an unreasonable safety threat to nearby uses and residents” 
 and can not hold detainees for more than 12 hours. The I.C.E. Detention 
 Center is clearly a threat to the local residents of the neighborhood\, 
 using tear gas and rubber bullets in a residential neighborhood\, across 
 the street from a building that houses a low income elderly community\, 
 near a childcare facility\, and hospital clinics. It has held detainees 
 for longer than 12 hours\, violating the conditional use permit. Portland 
 City Council should enforce the law\, revoke the permit\, and uphold the 
 ideals of our Sanctuary City.\n\n***GOING INTO CITY HALL REQUIRES SECURITY
  SCREENING***\n\n\nThis is a no-drop ride. Bring food/snacks\, water for 
 yourself and family members\, and remember your helmets and locks.  \nNo 
 food is allowed in Council Chambers.\nThe ride should be back to Colonel 
 Summers at 7:30pm.\n\nWe will need volunteers to cork\, ride at the back 
 (no drop). \nWe will not leave bikes unattended outside City 
 Hall.\n***BRING YOUR BIKE LOCKS!!***\nA volunteer will stay with the bikes
  at all times.\n\nIf you’re not riding with us\, meet at 5:30pm outside 
 the main City Hall entrance: \n\nPortland City Hall\n1221 SW 4th Ave\, 
 Portland\, OR 97204\nEntrance is on SW 4th between SW Jefferson and SW 
 Madison.\n \nOur message will be peaceful and we will hold our signs up 
 silently during public comments. \n******UPDATE: Use paper signs we can 
 collect and give to the security guard for council members/mayor as we are
  leaving the council chambers.******\n\nPer City Council Website: “Please 
 note: Public communications spots are fully booked through September 2025.
  \nThe October dates will be available on August 1\, 2025. “\n\nWe will 
 hold signs or banners made from 8.5” x 11” paper  (feel free to tape paper
  together to make a long banner) to have zero issues with security/x-ray 
 machines getting into city hall. \nDon’t bring signs on sticks.\nPLEASE 
 PRINT YOUR OWN if you have a printer.\nFeel free to draw\, use colors\, 
 markers\, etc. but BOLD black on white paper will show up well.\n\nWe will
  have extra paper\, tape and black markers at Colonel Summers.\n\nOur 
 PAPER ONLY signs should make requests of the Council.\n“ICE out of 
 Portland.”\n“End ICE Presence.”\n“Portland should terminate ICE’s 
 contract.”\n“Revoke ICE Permit”\n\nLets keep the tone peaceful and 
 respectful.\n\nNo food is allowed in Council Chambers.\n\nQuestions? Email
