A win in Portland, OR! NLG PDX members Maya Rinta and Vika Safarian successfully represented Alonna Mitsch, an African American woman protesting the Proud Boys last August, who was arrested by police for twerking in the street. The jury found her not guilty and dismissed her misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct for obstructing vehicular traffic. While the result was not surprising, it was notable the DA's office took this small charge all the way to trial.

"I was like, 'There's Nazis walking through our city, but I’m shaking my behind in the middle of the street and that’s what you’re worried about?' That can't be right," Mitsch said.

Congratulations, Alonna!

Rest in power, Rafael Cancel Miranda. ✊🏽🇵🇷
