Portland Protesters Vandalize Youth Charity

Protesters caused $20,000 in damage to a Portland youth charity building during a protest for racial justice on Monday night.

Members of the crowd, which took to the streets the day before a guilty verdict was handed down in the case of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, smashed windows and doors at the Boys & Girls Club in Northeast Portland.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a national charity organization offering after-school programs for young people. The Northeast Portland affiliate serves mostly black and minority children, according to the Oregonian.
