Bend Buzzes With Protest, Hunt, and Healing After Tragic Loss
Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for January 12th.
Bend is buzzing today after Saturday's massive ICE Out Right Now protest downtown drew over a thousand passionate locals to Peace Corner, chanting for Renee Good, the 37-year-old mother fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis. Video shows she was trying to drive away, not toward them, yet Trump officials and allies like VP JD Vance called her no innocent, sparking outrage here. Navy vet Tom Anderson drew chilling parallels to history, warning Project 2025 feels like an updated playbook of control, while Commissioner Phil Chang urged unity to protect our community amid fears of incoming ICE raids in Deschutes County. Organizers like Dana Madison from the 50501 movement held a candlelight vigil last night at Drake Park Pavilion, a beacon of solidarity that one Hispanic resident called deeply grateful-making. If you're feeling the tension, know your neighbors showed up peacefully, even earning honks from passing truckers.
Shifting to brighter skies, kick off your Monday with the Ultimate Scavenger Hunt downtown from 10 AM to 5 PM, a fun $23 adventure turning Bend's streets into a treasure trove of clues, perfect for shaking off winter blues with friends or family. Meanwhile, tragedy struck north of town as a 45-year-old man faces murder charges after a woman was found dead early Wednesday, reminding us to stay vigilant and support local law enforcement's swift work.
Health heroes at Destination Rehab just launched a free nine-week Walking Soccer program for Parkinson's folks, starting January 28th indoors, blending low-impact fun with real mobility gains to keep our community moving strong. Art lovers, don't miss David Kreitzer's Healing Waters exhibit at a local spot, showcasing serene oil paintings of sparkling waters with 20% of sales aiding St. Charles Foundation, donating peace one brushstroke at a time.
Looking ahead, gear up for the sold-out Plateau Forest Products Bend Outdoor Classic on the 16th, epic winter sports action that'll fire up the high desert spirit. Whether protesting for justice, hunting urban treasures, or healing through soccer and art, Bend's weaving resilience into every day, connecting us all against the chill.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
