Interview with Cameron Whitten

Occupy Portland activist and former mayoral candidate Cameron Whitten continued his hunger strike in front of City Hall today.

Whitten, who began his strike on Saturday, is demanding a withdrawal of the fines against the Right to Dream Too Rest Area downtown.

He is also advocating for the addition of a housing levy to the November General Election ballot, and a one-year moratorium on Wall Street bank foreclosures in Multnomah County.

KBOO's Zeke Harrington spoke with Cameron Whitten outside of City Hall for more on his hunger strike.
