Portland, OR. — Justin Bowen who has been connected with Antifa in Portland called for others to join him in responding to a memorial and worship event scheduled for Friday September 26th, 2025. In a post on social media he states “let’s show these racist pieces of s*** that they’re not welcome in Portland.”
The event he’s responding to is organized by the religious group Kingdom Movement and is titled “Legacy of Courage”, their post for the event online connects the event to Charlie Kirk who was recently assassinated at an event on a Utah university campus.
You’re invited to a night of courage, unity, and hope. A pivotal moment for our city to come together! Expect prayer, worship, the Gospel, and a message of hope that will lift your heart. Come witness lives transformed through water baptisms. Bring your family & friends!
The call for action by Bowen was reported on by Andy Ngo, known for his expertise on Antifa and direct experience with Portland Antifa.
Bowen was arrested in 2021 during the riots in Portland on charges including interfering with a peace officer, attempted assault, disorderly conduct, and reckless endangerment. (https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-protesters-arrested-prior-history-unrest-related-charges)
