The ACLU of Oregon, in partnership with Don’t Shoot PDX, an arts and education organization that promotes social justice and civic participation, have submitted three public records requests to the City of Portland, the Oregon Department of Justice (ODOJ), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). These requests seek to identify how state and local law enforcement agencies collaborate with federal law enforcement to monitor and surveil Oregonians engaged in racial justice and other forms of lawful advocacy and protest. Frann Michel talks with Lisa Kwon of the ACLU-OR and Teressa Raiford of Dont Shoot PDX.
The ACLU-OR has resources to help you access your public records:
