All proceeds made from this event will go to legal fees for those who have stood up in pursuit of freedom and those who have been shot down by injustice. The money will go to Occupy Portland, Justin James Bridges, who was hospitalized shortly after his encounter with the Oregon Police Department and Aaron Campbell’s family for their pursuit of justice in the fatal shooting of their son by the Portland Police Department.
There is no set entrance fee, but donations are encouraged because the
event is in part a fundraiser for two Occupy Portland protesters;
David Burgess and Justin James Bridges.
 
David Burgess is an activist for peace and justice who was marching
peacefully with other Occupy Portland marchers in early November when
he was attacked by police and wrongly accused of pushing a Portland
police officer into an oncoming Trimet bus. Since that time, David has
incurred mounting legal expenses along with medical bills as a result
of injuries he sustained when attacked by police officers.
 
Justin James Bridges is a local musician who participated in the
Occupy Portland encampment. On the last Saturday night at the
encampment he performed at Terry Shrunk Plaza, but by the next night
he was hospitalized from injuries sustained when police attacked
remaining protesters who were attempting to peacefully hold the
encampment after the mayor’s orders to vacate. Since that time, Justin
has accumulated thousands of dollars in medical bills and legal
expenses.
