Today, December 10, is United Nations Human Rights Day. You are invited to Salem Speaks Up! It will be at 7:00 pm at First United Methodist Church, 600 State St. NE. Wally Carson will be moderator.
On this 20th Anniversary of Salem Speaks Up! There will be a look back at changes over the years, and look ahead for ways to make Salem a place where no one’s human rights are violated.
This event offers an open microphone opportunity 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. Each person who speaks is encouraged to describe their own experiences, and to suggest possible support systems or changes they would like to see.
