Multiple demonstrations are taking place in downtown Portland on Saturday.
Online postings indicate two right-wing demonstrations are scheduled for Saturday: one involving the Proud Boys, a fraternal organization known for street fighting, and another organized by conservative activist Haley Adams and the HimToo Movement. Counterprotesters, including supporters of Rose City Antifa, are planning to gather in opposition.
