Mike Attfield emailed Morgantown City Council members, stating our support for the proposed ban on conversion therapy that is now in effect in the City of Morgantown.
We had a booth at this event on October 23rd.
We support the proposal of the Morgantown Human Rights Commission (HRC) to rename October 12th as Indigenous People’s Day. The proposal was presented at the October 26th City Council Committee of the Whole meeting. According to the October 28th account of the meeting in the Dominion Post, Council members “agreed to seek more community input and work with the HRC before moving the measure to a meeting agenda.” Mike Attfield sent emails to council members supporting the proposal.
The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) has challenged our request to intervene in this lawsuit, while the City of Morgantown supported our request. We are now waiting for Judge Susan Tucker to announce her decision on this.
We will hold this event via Zoom on January 17th at 2:00 p.m. in cooperation with the WVU Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) because of concerns about COVID-19. We have received an allocation of $1500 from the City of Morgantown to reimburse us for expenses. We are contacting local schools to have students sing for us and are asking local social justice organizations to share their perspectives on the theme of respect. If you have ideas for the program, please send them to ccsjwv@hotmail.com.
