Shaun King, columnist for the New York Daily News and prominent voice in the Black Lives Matter movement, tweeted out to his 382,000 followers Wednesday morning, "PLEASE TAKE NOTICE. Dear @MayorPDX - we will likely boycott your city if you make this contract official."

Attached to his tweet was a story from the Daily Kos about Portland's controversial police union contract. Despite sustained protests, that contract was approved several hours later.

Critics of the contract are unhappy with draft language about police body cameras.

The tweet by King suggests he may add Portland to the list of places to boycott during his planned "Injustice Boycott."

In an article about the planned boycott, King wrote to would-be boycotters, "This is you making a pledge that you will boycott cities, states, businesses, and institutions which are either willfully indifferent to police brutality and racial injustice or are deliberately destructive partners with it."

According to the website, over 111,000 people have already pledged to join the boycott.

In his article, King said the targets of the boycott could include cities, towns, states, brands and institutions. He added that the names of the targets would not be released until the boycott begins on Dec.5, "the anniversary of when Dr. King and others began the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955."

"We will spend the next nine weeks carefully crafting each and every target," he wrote in his post, "and we will provide detailed justifications for each and every target when we launch on Dec. 5."

He said that there would be a clear path for all the targets to end the boycott, but he added, "We do expect this boycott to last for months, or even years, not days or weeks."
