Currently, there is not a call for a mass mobilization to defend against the sweep. If residents do call for that, we will help relay that information. In the meantime, check in with camps in your neighborhood. Build relationships. Together we can ultimately stop the sweeps.

Again, we would like to share the sweeps hotline. This hotline will notify trained and experienced on the ground support to respond to sweeps. In the future, we hope to have more trainings to equip more people with the skills needed to respond to a sweep: wraphome.org/wp-content/upl…

Word has traveled fast regarding the sweep at Laurelhurst. We hope to clarify some of what is going on. First and foremost, currently there is no need for more people on the ground. While support is appreciated, too many people can be overwhelming and counterproductive.

As this winter brings more death and suffering on the outside due to government inaction and intentional neglect, conditions inside will be immensely more deadly than we can imagine. @ORprisonreport offers us direct reports from inside. #KateBrownKills #ODOCKills #FreeThemAllOR

Rapid Response is contractually obligated to conduct sweeps. That contract is also a contract they willfully entered. They have a vested interest in the continuation of sweeps: Profit. They receive $4.5m from the city per year (which we organized against): portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2020/…

Ultimately, Rapid Response decides what belongings to trash and what belongings to keep. Even if belongings are stored, that doesn’t mean they are accessible. Hours are limited, the retrieval process is complicated, and belongings end up tossed out.

Please understand the City of Portland’s property retrieval system is atrocious. This was one of the top issues that inspired the launch of our campaign. You can learn more in this thoughtful article with interviews of folks from our coalition: portlandmercury.com/feature/2019/1…

Don’t mistake these public-private partnerships as a “better alternative” to Portland Police. Public Private Partnerships such as security contracts, Enhanced Services Districts, and Rapid Response are simply policing by another name.

With so much scrutiny on Rapid Response, it’s important to understand what they do and why they do it. Rapid Response is not the sole initiator of sweeps, but they are also not a neutral entity in the facilitation of sweeps.
