CIVIL RIGHTS: Small acts add up

I am proud of human rights efforts of citizens of Coeur d’Alene. This 80-year-old human rights candle is burning bright for equality.

I have attended four LGBTQAI+ fairs at Coeur d’Alene City Park. Spent three days at female impersonator slander trial. Do clerical, janitorial and gardening at HREI. Spoke at pro-choice rally at McEuen Field. Reading banned books. Had published 70+ human rights letters in the Coeur d’Alene Press. Drew human rights drawings for glass case at the Coeur d’Alene Library. Attended human rights statue dedication by Memorial Field.

I am decades-long supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment. Watched hundreds of human rights documentaries on TV. At The Coeur d’Alene Resort, meeting on verbal attack on basketball players. Worked human rights booth at Kootenai Fair for 30 years. Provided info and signed affidavit to prevent Aryans from putting compound in trust during trial breaking them. Ran for county commissioner, state legislature and U.S. Congress as a human rights activist. Asked Coeur d’Alene council to open their evocation prayers to all Coeur d’Alene religions.

Please join us by doing one or two small acts supporting human rights in Coeur d’Alene.
