A flier targeting Portland’s disabled residents is being posted across the city, Portland’s Office of Equity and Human Rights confirmed today. The office has found fliers in the Laurelhurst, Irvington and Southeast Belmont areas, and The Oregonian has confirmed postings in Eliot, as well.

The most recent flier -- signed by the anonymous “Artemis of the Wild” -- promises to reveal the names of 16 people in the Laurelhurst neighborhood who vote and receive disability payments. "The names of these people are being posted where they can be seen by taxpayers and the neighborhood can decide who is truly disabled," it reads.

“The tone of the note has underlying notes of violence,” said Jeff Selby, a spokesman for the office of equity and human rights. “If someone threatens to post your name, that just seems to us like vigilantism. It’s very threatening and that’s what bothers us....

“There are a lot of indignities you have to face being disabled already,” said Noah Dundas, a St. Johns native who suffers with the degenerative muscular disease inclusion body myositis. “Every day of my life, even if you don’t have this flier up, I have people staring at me, treating me differently. We’re targeted already, even if people aren’t verbalizing it and putting it into threats. I feel sad for humanity that we have sunk so low that we are targeting people who are indefensible.”
