UPDATE: The girl in the photo is 20-year-old Elizabeth Nichols, originally from Arkansas. She moved to Portland only six months ago. Her mother, Annie Nichols, is housebound with multiple sclerosis and has no medical care. Her father is also disabled. The family lives on one disability check. Her mother said that Elizabeth wasn’t always an activist. “She never took part in anything like this. Of course, it’s Arkansas. There isn’t a lot of that here.”
