Members of Curtis Sliwa's Guardian Angels Safety Patrol, a citizens' security patrol organization, walk alongside a road. The Guardian Angels' Portland chapter was formed in 1983. In 1984, they became involved in the housing of homeless persons that had been abandoned in Portland during the Rajneesh crisis. According to many reports, the Rajneeshpuram commune had bussed in homeless people from across the country in order to register them as pro-Rajneesh voters in the November elections of 1984. Soon afterward, they abandoned many of the homeless people in other communities. This photograph was taken during a Guardian Angels demonstrating, where they were protesting a lack of action on the issue by Governor Atiyeh.
Protestors, several of whom wear Guardian Angels shirts, walk through a residential area holding signs asking why the governor hasn't stopped the 'dumpings,' referring to the abandonment of homeless people in downtown Portland during the Rajneesh crisis. Before the elections of November 1984, the Rajneeshpuram community had recruited homeless people from across the country in order to register them as pro-Rajneesh voters in Wasco County. According to many reports, the Rajneeshees 'dumped' many of these homeless people in other towns after the election was done. The Alliance of Guardian Angels is a citizens' watch group founded in 1979 by Curtis Sliwa.
