Riot Ribs Appears to Have Permanently Closed | Eater Portland

"I read that after weeks of serving the protest area, Riot Ribs announced via Twitter that it would be “dissolving immediately,” alleging a person volunteering in the park was trying to “profit off [their] movement” and was “pretending he is involved” — the tweet did not explicitly say this person caused the dissolution. The group said all donated money would be returned to the community and that they would continue to feed people “just not now,” warning that things were “not safe” and that Riot Ribs workers had been targeted and assaulted, though it did not specify by whom. On July 29 they tweeted screenshots showing donations they had been making, with funds going to a variety of local organizations and volunteers, including Meals For Heels." - Alex Frane
