A New York photographer has sued Mother Jones over its use of a copyrighted photo he took of now-Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez prior to her upset win in the New York Democratic primary last year.

Yorktown Heights-based professional photographer Jose Alvarado sued the San Francisco-based progressive media outlet Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California claiming Mother Jones willfully infringed his copyright to an image he took of Ocasio-Cortez looking over the crowd as she participated in a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2017.
