On Sunday, August 6, 2017, radicalized alt-right, white nationalists rallied in Portland, Oregon with the intent to spread hateful rhetoric and assault community advocates for equity and justice. During the rally, several activists were targeted and assaulted resulting in numerous injuries including: concussions, facial fractures, a dislocated knee, and multiple lacerations and contusions of varying severity. The goal of this fundraiser is to assist in medical and health costs incurred by the victims. Monies raised will go towards covering the costs of ambulance use, emergency room visits, CAT scans & x-rays, surgery, prescriptions, and any additional needed treatment and costs including physical therapy. Thank you for supporting those who often risk their own safety as they confront creeping fascism in effort to secure a racist and fascist free future. An injury to one is an injury to all!
