PORTLAND — Rebekah Brewis was sentenced Thursday nearly two years in prison after stealing over $10,000 in donations that should have gone toward supporting the Portland Women’s March.
Brewis was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to one count of aggravated theft in the first degree, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
Brewis was an organizer of the original Portland Women’s March, which drew between 70,000 and 100,000 people to downtown Portland to protest the inauguration of President Donald Trump in January 2017.
As an organizer, Brewis solicited donations to support the march which were deposited into an online account controlled by Brewis.
