# If you follow one Twitter account today, make it @WallOfMoms

There was a time, way back when in the early days of Twitter, that I used to recommend Portland Twitter accounts for folks to follow. While that’s not something I do on a regular basis anymore, there are certain times where I feel motivated to rekindle that effort. Like today, when I realized that the [Portland Wall of Moms has a Twitter account](https://twitter.com/WallOfMoms).

Not familiar with the Wall of Moms? [It’s a group of mothers who have begun showing up at the Portland protests to stand on the frontlines and protect protestors](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/07/20/portland-protests-wall-moms-formed-protect-demonstrators/5470348002/).

> The group of women formed what could be called a human shield dubbed the “wall of moms” at the front of a protest outside a federal courthouse on Sunday, and videos on social media showed the group chanting, “Moms are here, feds stay clear” and “Leave our kids alone.”

And now, like [many](https://twitter.com/sacredfence) [many](https://twitter.com/PizzaProtest) [other](https://twitter.com/StagulaRasa) [aspects](https://twitter.com/riotribs) of the [Portland protests](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Portlandprotest), they have a [Twitter account](https://twitter.com/WallOfMoms). It’s worth a follow to stay apprised of what’s happening here, whether you’re from Portland or not.

And yes, since you asked, [there’s a dad version forming](https://twitter.com/pdxdadpod), as well.
