The clean-up event will include trash pick-up, sprucing up Peace Memorial Park, and removing graffiti around the area.
About Peace Memorial Park: Connected to the Eastbank Esplanade, intersected by one of Portland’s busiest bikeways, and graced with expansive views of the Willamette River and the downtown skyline, Peace Memorial Park was established as a public place to honor victims of war, both military and civilian. Since Lloyd EcoDistrict joined in partnership with Veterans for Peace, the vision of the space has expanded to honor the intersection of conflict, climate and social justice. Read more here.

Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil
The monthly vigil for Keaton Otis is held at 6pm on the 12th of every month. Keaton Otis was a young Black man killed by the Portland police on May 12, 2010 in Lloyd in 2010 at NE 6th and NE Halsey. The police admitted they stopped him for “looking like a gangster”. Keaton’s father Fred Bryant started the monthly vigil on the 12 of the month after his son’s murder on the spot where Keaton’s life was taken. Fred Bryant did this for over three years, fighting for justice for his son, every single month in the rain, the dark, the heat, and the snow. Fred Bryant passed away on October 29, 2013.
His family and community have committed to continuing the vigils every month on the 12th, until justice is achieved for Keaton, for Fred, and for our whole community.
Since 2019 Lloyd EcoDistrict has been working with the Black-led Justice for Keaton Otis collective to memorialize the life of Keaton Otis. Join us and community members at the corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey on the 12th of every month at 6:00 PM to remember Keaton and call for justice.

Mobility Committee (Go Lloyd)
Go Lloyd’s Mobility Committee helps to make biking, transit, and walking in Lloyd safe, fun, convenient, and easy. We work to install and improve bicycle infrastructure, and host numerous free events to encourage people to bike, take transit, and walk. The Committee provides input on Go Lloyd’s programs and activities, and frequently partners with the City of Portland to improve conditions for cycling and walking in Lloyd. Our projects focus on safety, health, and bikeable/walkable infrastructure. Join us each month for an open, informal discussion and learn how you can help take action.
The Mobility Committee meets in person and virtually on the second Tuesday of each month from 1 to 2 PM. Check our calendar for details, or contact liuda@golloyd.org for more information.
Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil
The monthly vigil for Keaton Otis is held at 6pm on the 12th of every month. Keaton Otis was a young Black man killed by the Portland police on May 12, 2010 in Lloyd in 2010 at NE 6th and NE Halsey. The police admitted they stopped him for “looking like a gangster”. Keaton’s father Fred Bryant started the monthly vigil on the 12 of the month after his son’s murder on the spot where Keaton’s life was taken. Fred Bryant did this for over three years, fighting for justice for his son, every single month in the rain, the dark, the heat, and the snow. Fred Bryant passed away on October 29, 2013.
His family and community have committed to continuing the vigils every month on the 12th, until justice is achieved for Keaton, for Fred, and for our whole community.
Since 2019 Lloyd EcoDistrict has been working with the Black-led Justice for Keaton Otis collective to memorialize the life of Keaton Otis. Join us and community members at the corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey on the 12th of every month at 6:00 PM to remember Keaton and call for justice.
