Portland Rally Demands End To Fleet Week And Glorification Of War

June 13, 2026 Noah Williams, People's World. , , ,
Portland, OR — For Fleet Week 2026, the U.S. Navy brought some of its shiniest and most lethal warships into the Willamette River and docked them on Portland’s shores right in front of the annual city fair, called the Rose Festival. Hundreds gathered down at the port on June 6 in the rain, not to welcome the fleet, but to, again, call out the normalization of war, violence, and predatory military recruitment practices. The crowd would chant “Constant lies and endless war” in response. Fleet Week brings over 700 sailors with them to swarm the city and set up recruitment tents to talk to Rose Festival attendees.
