*** HATE CRIME RALLY ***
Rally in Response to Hate Crime
WHEN: Saturday, July 22, 2006 11:00AM
WHERE: Monument Square, Portland, Maine
POSTED FROM www.EqualityMaine.org - July 17, 2006 7:00pm
On July 3, 2006, Linda Boutaugh and Keri Fuchs were victims of a horrific hate crime. Vandals broke into their Poland, Maine home and destroyed everything breaking windows, writing obscenities on their walls, and trashing their belongings. For more on this crime, please click here: http://www.unlockablebox.com.
Since there has been no public outcry from the town of Poland, the LGBT community will step up and provide a forum for expressing outrage to this crime.
EqualityMaine, Center for the Prevention of Hate Violence, Maine Civil Liberties Union and others are will hold a rally and press conference on Saturday, July 22nd, 11:00 am, at Monument Square in Portland, to express our outrage at this despicable crime and to question the lack of media coverage.
EqualityMaine has also set up a Hate Crime Victims Fund to help Linda and Keri through this difficult time. Aside from losing virtually everything, Linda and Keri were in the process of selling their home and moving to East Millinocket. The buyers backed out of the sale once they learned of the crime.
