Family 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. Portland 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. ***GOING INTO CITY HALL REQUIRES SECURITY SCREENING*** This is a no-drop ride. Bring food/snacks, water for yourself and family members, and remember your helmets and locks. No food is allowed in Council Chambers. The ride should be back to Colonel Summers at 7:30pm. We will need volunteers to cork, ride at the back (no drop). We will not leave bikes unattended outside City Hall. A volunteer will stay with the bikes at all times. If you’re not riding with us, meet at 5:30pm outside the main City Hall entrance: Portland City Hall 1221 SW 4th Ave, Portland, OR 97204 Entrance is on SW 4th between SW Jefferson and SW Madison. Our message will be peaceful and we will hold our signs up silently during public comments. Per City Council Website: “Please note: Public communications spots are fully booked through September 2025. The October dates will be available on August 1, 2025. “ We 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. Don’t bring signs on sticks. PLEASE PRINT YOUR OWN if you have a printer. Feel free to draw, use colors, markers, etc. but BOLD black on white paper will show up well. We will have extra paper, tape and black markers at Colonel Summers. Our PAPER ONLY signs should make requests of the Council. “ICE out of Portland.” “End ICE Presence.” “Portland should terminate ICE’s contract.” “Remove ICE.” Lets keep the tone peaceful and respectful. No food is allowed in Council Chambers. Questions? Email sanctuarycyclePDX@gmail.com
