You’re in luck! The advocacy group, Kent Street Coalition have put together a panel of activists who will be discussing many aspects of the Free Staters. Some topic examples: Project 2025 plays a big role with Free Staters both in and out of the NH legislature, which shows by the votes of the Republican majority. Important issues under constant attack are public education and its funding along with the eroding of voting rights are topics for discussion. Most people are probably unaware of any neo-nazi and white supremacy disinformation campaigns taking place in NH. That too, is up for discussion. Want to make your voice heard in Concord? Learn how to do so while also learning more about the legislative process.
The panel consists of: David Trumble who received a law degree in 1983 from the University of NH School of Law.
Bill Maddocks is affiliated with No Hate NH at Granite State Progress.
Rep. David Meuse of Portsmouth, Rep. Russell Muirhead of Hanover and Rep. Wendy Thomas of Merrimack complete the panel.
