The event was organized by We Are Oregon Speakers include two homeowners whose families are facing eviction; a representative from Occupy Portland; a Catholic priest from a neighborhood church; and a neighbor of the family where the Conference was being held.
From the statement by Occupy Portland:
"Unsettle Portland is a grassroots organization, and a local affiliate of the Take Back the Land movement, dedicated to community control of land and housing.
We are here as part of the evolution of Occupy Wall Street as it shifts into supporting the people who are on the front lines of the premeditated mortgage crisis. People who are facing imminent eviction, even as thousands of houses remain empty in every major city."

Though I believe that Unsettle Portland might be affiliated with Occupy Portland, it was incorrect to say that one of the speakers was representing Occupy Portland. I meant to identify that speaker as representing Unsettle Portland.
The statement at the end of the write up should have also be quoting Unsettle Portland.
My apologies..............
