Salem Speaks Up!
Thursday
December 10, 2009
First United Methodist Church
600 State St. NE
Freedom of speech is one of our most valuable rights.
This is an opportunity for people to talk about human rights issues.
What violations are occurring? Are certain groups being targeted?
Where can a person turn for help?
Information about improvements and successes is always appreciated.
We want people to feel safe to share experiences and concerns.
Each person who speaks is encouraged to describe their own experience and
to suggest possible support systems or changes they would like to see.
This event is designed to empower those who may be shy about speaking up,
and to inform, challenge and inspire community leaders,
government officials, educators, businesses and ordinary citizens.

League of Women Voters of Marion and Polk Counties,
American Association of University Women
