Right 2 Dream Too (known to locals as R2D2 or R2DTOO) is a self-managed homeless encampment in Portland, Oregon incorporated as a nonprofit organization.[1] The initial encampment was set up in October, 2011 on private property in Old Town Chinatown at Northwest 4th Avenue and West Burnside Street. The camp had permission from the property owner, but it was not authorized by the city. Right 2 Survive, the encampment's parent group and founder, organized an overnight shelter run by other homeless.[2][3][4][5]
The operation erected tents and built a fence without necessary permits, and was assessed fines for doing so.[6]
