'Wall of Moms' stands on front line of Portland protest

PORTLAND, Ore. — Local mothers put themselves on the front lines of the protest in downtown Portland Sunday night.

The group of moms dressed in white lined up in front of federal officers and the federal courthouse. They call themselves the "Wall of Moms" and they were heard chanting, "Moms are here. Feds, stay clear," and "Hands up, don't shoot!"

At one point, the women formed a human barrier around the courthouse.

The group has formed a page on Facebook. In the about section they say, "Calling all moms, Let's do what we do best - protect people."

The group is warning people to prepare for the "worst possible outcome - violence" and is asking women to wear a helmet and write emergency contact numbers on their arms if they decided to join.
