Securing Justice: Attorney Helen Oh's Civil Rights Victory in Denver

We are thrilled to announce a major victory for civil rights in Denver, led by our esteemed attorney, Helen Oh. Her client, a protester arrested for refusing to surrender bear spray during a demonstration, has been awarded $25,000 in compensation by the city.

As a member of We the People 303, a social justice group, the protester carried bear spray out of concern for their safety—a decision fully supported by attorney Helen Oh, who highlighted the individual's prior experiences of violence at protests.

Despite the legality of carrying bear spray, Denver Police officers demanded its surrender upon the protester's arrival, leading to their prompt arrest. Throughout the legal battle, Helen passionately defended her client's rights, arguing against the police department's actions.

In an article for the Denverite, she emphasized the broader implications of this settlement for civil rights and police accountability, stressing the need to hold law enforcement accountable for overreach.

"This settlement signifies accountability. My client demanded that Denver be held accountable. Everyone has the right to protest."
