Many drivers honked their horns and shook their fists as an act of solidarity for the group. Activists could be seen chanting around the sidewalks of downtown Corvallis, eventually making their way to the local police station. Most chants were designed to remember the memory of George Floyd and highlight the perceived racial inequities seen throughout the country. The protest was entirely peaceful in its nature, taking place over the course of two hours and involved around 50 protesters. There were few signs of involvement from law enforcement throughout the protest, limited to a single sheriff's vehicle driving past the crowd.

Jeff Edwards which stated "Team Kingsley, for your safety I ask you to please avoid the downtown area this evening. We received an alert that there may be 2 busloads of ANTIFA protesters en route to Klamath Falls and arriving in downtown around 2030 tonight." The busloads of antfia never did arrive. Police stood in the street to keep the two groups, one chanting "George Floyd" and the other chanting "USA" and "Go Home", separated. Police only made a single citation.

[42] [43] Phoenix, Oregon's Mayor Chris Luz drove his yellow maid-cleaning service vehicle close to protesters, then got into a heated confrontation with protesters and a legal observer. A protester brought it up in a Phoenix commissioners meeting on June 15, and city councilor Sarah Westover said "I can’t believe the actions that you took, nudging teenagers with your car, intimidating, and threatening them for expressing their opinions. I think this is unacceptable behavior, and I want to call on the mayor to resign tonight." Another councilor asked Luz to apologize, he didn't reply.

Prineville

Around 150 Black Lives Matter protesters came out on May 31 in front of the Crook County Courthouse, along with a similar number of counterprotesters. [55] The Black leader of the protest discussed being bullied during high school in Prineville. She met with police chief Dale Cummins, who then posted a video on the department's official Facebook page, stating "quite frankly completely lied about the conversation". She received threatening messages; after asking the police to investigate one, a police captain said he'd spoken to the person who threatened her but didn't pursue it further. When asked by OPB about the Black Lives Matter movement, Cummins responded similarly to the All Lives Matter viewpoint. [56]

Dozens demonstrated on Saturday June 13, and there were four arrests. [12]

A recent rally had counterprotesters with a Confederate flag, thin blue line American flag, Trump 2020 flags, a t-shirt calling the Black organizer a liar. "More than a dozen members" of the Three Percenters supported the counterprotest with assault rifles and plastic handcuffs. [56]

Salem

More than 200 demonstrators marched around the Oregon State Capitol Building on May 30. A police spokesman claimed the reason they used tear gas to break up the protest is because hard objects and "explosive devices" were thrown. The mayor issued an indefinite nightly curfew because "there was no reason to take a chance on a few "misguided individuals" destroying public and private property." [57] Protests continued through the week, with a protest on Saturday June 6 drawing thousands to the streets in downtown. [58]

Several hundred protesters rallied at the capitol on the afternoon of June 13. [25] [12]
