Portland protesters occupy street in bid to stop eviction of family of color

• Michael Kinney says family fighting against systemic racism
• Judge in September authorized eviction from Red House

Dozens of protesters have been occupying a street in Portland, Oregon, surrounded by makeshift barriers, in an effort to keep a Black and Indigenous family from being evicted from the home they have lived in for 65 years.

The home, known as the Red House, sits in a historically Black residential neighborhood that has since gentrified. It has been the site of protests for several months, after a judge authorized the Kinney family's eviction in September.
