CROWDRISE to Support CUSP:
Wondering why I care about Alaska when I live in Pa? Besides similar realities in our region which we – as workers and also survivors – need to learn how to address since our representatives do not include us in General Assembly research findings or affiliated legislative process, I was in Alaska observing – and experiencing first hand – the civil and human rights violations addressed in CUSP and allied testimonies and senate presentations.
Best wishes, Terra, for success with your CUSP / community efforts in Juneau. – X M
