I would like to go on public record affirming my support of the Human Rights Commission, Karen Renaud, Penny Ricketts, Racial Justice Rising and all who are crafting policies to promote and enforce standards of humane, civil and just conduct in our communities.

I support wholeheartedly identifying and holding accountable those who violate, by word or deed, the rights of fellow humans.

I would be remiss as a citizen to be silent in the presence of bigoted language or deeds here in my community and even more remiss to anonymously express my resolve to condemn bigots, so I am boldly admitting that I am Maureen Moore of Shelburne Falls.
