Several demonstrations were held in Portland Saturday. The protests included a #MeToo Speak Out rally that began at Terry Shrunk Plaza, a Patriot Prayer gathering on East Burnside and a Roe v. Wade Memorial rally at Pioneer Courthouse Square. The Roe v. Wade rally, an annual event held across cities nationwide, was counter-protested by a Rally for Reproductive Justice.

Besides a few scuffles, the demonstrations were largely peaceful, attracting hundreds of participants over the course of the day. Law enforcement officers asked #MeToo marchers to move off the streets on loudspeakers several times and protestors complied. No arrests have been reported.

The protests took place on the annual Women's March, which had rallies across the country Saturday. The Portland's Women's March has been pushed back to March 3rd near International Women's Day, Friday, March 8th. According to their website, organizers changed the date in support of Martin Luther King Day on Monday, Jan. 21st. The International Women's March started on Jan. 21st, 2017, the day after President Trump's inauguration.

The annual Martin Luther King March for Human Rights and Dignity is scheduled Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. It begins at Peninsula Park, 700 N. Rosa Parks Way.
