Biography

Racial-justice activist and Black Unity leader pushed to the ground and beaten by Springfield, Oregon police at the July 29, 2020 Black Unity march, then charged with assault of an officer, interfering, and felony riot. After two years of prosecution, all charges were dismissed mid-trial in June 2022 — the last of the Springfield BLM criminal cases to end — and she joined CLDC's civil-rights suit against the police.
