Dylan Rivera, spokesperson for Portland Bureau of Transportation, said Friday afternoon that the city does not have any permits for protests on the weekend of Jan. 20 and 21. "We do not have any applications nor any permits," Rivera said.

The day after President Donald Trump's inauguration last year, an estimated 70,000 to 100,000 people filled the streets of Portland to march for women, in solidarity with participants in Women's Marches across the country and the world.

Next weekend, many cities and towns that held Women's Marches in 2017 plan to do it again. But in Portland, instead of a unified Women's March, there will be at least four events.

Sunday, Jan. 21, will see the current iteration of the Portland Women's March, the Indigenous Womxn's March at 1 p.m. at downtown's Terry D. Schrunk Plaza.

"Portland's Woman's [sic] March has been cancelled," reads the Facebook event for the new event, "but the matriarch will continue taking the streets on our Indigenous lands wearing red."

Candi Brings Plenty, founder of the Two Spirit Nation, which is hosting the Indigenous Womxn's March, said over Facebook earlier this week that is march is a "response to the under represented womxn and allies who were offended by the white feminist narrative that took over the face of the march."

The Sunday event, Brings Plenty said, "is all inclusive and is a direct action to create unity and visibility that empowers indigenous womxn who have been doing this work with their livelihoods and have been silenced or eradicated for their leadership by patriarchy or privilege."

Brings Plenty said that the Portland Women's March leadership, which she is also part of, is "doing the right thing, and stepping out of the way so the underrepresented and marginalized voices could be seen and heard here in Portland."

"They are leading by example," she added, "and are not the same planning leadership as last year."

The group that planned last year's march was put into place just weeks before the event, when the original committee was removed after accusations of racism and transphobia led the NAACP to pull support for the march.

In the months after the march, organizers publicly argued about what happened to thousands of dollars raised by donations and t-shirts sales.

The Oregon Department of Justice began looking into the issue of the missing funds and confirmed this week that there is now an open investigation into the issue through their criminal justice division.

On Jan. 20, the day that most anniversary Women's Marches are happening in the state, there will be three more events. The NXT LVL X She Shreds J20 RALLY + PARTY is scheduled for noon at PICA in Northeast Portland, and the National March for Impeachment is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. in "downtown Portland." The MeToo March and SpeakOUT is is set for 2 p.m. at Pioneer Courthouse Square.

None of these events are directly affiliated with the Women's March but all pull from the march's general themes.

The first march, the National March for Impeachment, celebrates a protest that took place on Jan. 20, 2017, in Portland.

That protest was not permitted and drew thousands to downtown Portland. While it remained peaceful during the day, once the sun went down it erupted into several incidents where police used pepper spray and tear gas.

Jacob Bureros, an organizer of the event, said over email that this year's march "will have a much different feel."

"We are working towards a family friendly event," he said, "that will include a marching band."

The current coalition of organizers, he said, "is made up of many veteran organizers, as opposed to last year where it was a large group of organizations, meticulous planning has been put into this event to ensure that we maintain a peaceful and powerful march that is accessible to everyone in the community."

Bureros said the coalition did work with Women's March organizers to make sure their events didn't overlap.

A Facebook page called the Women's March on Portland has also shared this event. There are also two Facebook groups associated with the march: a Portland Women's March general group with over 10,000 members and a group called Women's March PDX 2018 with 360 members. Both are closed groups.

"We honor the powerful statement millions of women and their allies made last year when we stood in solidarity across the country," he added, "and we have worked very hard to make sure that this is an event for everyone, an event for unity, an event focused on building a mass movement."

Another event promoted by the page Women's March on Portland is the NXT LVL X She Shreds J20 RALLY + PARTY. This event is billed as a rally and party to raise money and awareness for Brown Girl Rise. Queer Rock Camp Portland and Portland Menstrual Society.

Tickets for the rally start at $5 and for the party, which is 21 and over and starts at 7 p.m., start at $15.

"We are in solidarity with the Indigenous Womxn's March," said Letty Chicitonylotli Martinez, one of the planners of the event. "We are encouraging folks to attend."

The final event for Jan. 20, the MeToo March and SpeakOUT, is being organized by Portland Socialist Alternative and is not connected with the Women's March, at least not directly.

"The Women's March was extremely monumental in terms of demonstrating the kind of mass direct action we need to see to effectively fight back against systemic violence against oppressed people," said Socialist Alternative spokesperson Olivia Pace over email.

"At Socialist Alternative, we didn't see that there were any plans to replicate last year's Women's March in Portland this year," she said. "Because of this, we saw an opportunity to put on an action in a similar vein, but with some amendments to the political message which we believed would be more inclusive."

Pace said Socialist Alternative wanted to use the message of #MeToo, which they see as "the most current iteration of resistance to the violation of women's rights," as a hook for their march. But, said Pace, they wanted to make sure the name and politics of the event was broad enough to acknowledge people all along the gender spectrum experience sexual violence.
