A group of Vancouver citizens plans a march in Vancouver this evening in solidarity with marches that have taken place the last two nights in Portland.

“The hope is it’s a peaceful march for liberty and justice for all,” said Peggy Sue Snoey, one of the organizers.

It will begin at 5 p.m. on the sidewalk at West Fourth Plain Boulevard and F Street adjacent to St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Snoey said the church is not sponsoring the event, but will allow cars to be parked in its parking lot during the event.

From there the group plans to walk to Main Street and then south into downtown before returning to the starting point.

Snoey said the group does not plan to block automobile traffic.

Thursday’s events in Portland devolved into what police there termed a riot, with property damage and some arrests. The protest there was organized by people objecting to the results of Tuesday’s presidential election.
