The pattern is astounding in its consistency:
They have no interest in the common good.

The Oral History Committee of the Red River Rainbow Seniors is still searching for a Planning Facilitator for the oral history Transgender & Gender Diverse Project. On the advice of SAGE we hope to be organizing at least one “listening” session with members of the T&GD communities in Fargo.
