Activists: What's the Big Deal?” <BR><BR>The Boston Police Department and its
fusion spying center, the Boston Regional Intelligence Center, have for years
been tracking and creating criminal “intelligence reports” on the lawful
political activity of peace groups and local leaders. This collection and
retention of data regarding people’s constitutionally protected speech and
beliefs and violates federal privacy regulations and the BRIC’s own privacy
policies.<BR><BR>Kade Crockford is the Director of the ACLU Massachusetts

<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>FOLLOWING THIS WEEK'S
SERVICE<BR><BR>Boston's Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) observance will be
held at Cathedral of St. Paul in downtown Boston on Sunday, November 18 at 4pm.
All are welcome for a memorial speakout, candlelight vigil and hosted reception
as the local transgender community memorializes those lost to violence and/or
discrimination. <BR><BR>Sponsors for this important community event, benefitting
the Transgender Emergency Fund and Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program’s
(BHCHP) Transgender Clinic Fund, include: Eastern Bank, The Fenway
Institute, AIDS Action Committee, Fenway Health, BAGLY, GLAD, Tiffany Club of
NE, MTPC, MassEquality, The Crossing and Cathedral of St. Paul, Cambridge
Women’s Community Action Organization, Boston Healthcare for the Homeless, Join
The Impact MA, and Gender Education & Media. <BR><BR>Event History: In
late 1998, Boston’s LGBT community recoiled in horror at the discovery of the
latest victim of transphobic violence. Rita Hester, a popular figure in the
local rock ‘n roll scene, who also happened to be transsexual, had been found
brutally stabbed to death in her Brighton apartment. Like so many killings of
gay and transgender persons, the victim was subjected to enough brutality to
kill her many times over.<BR><BR>A local community of queer activists, rockers,
family, friends and allies — over 250 — held a speak-out and candlelight vigil
in Rita’s honor, forming a human stream of light winding its way through Rita’s
old Allston stomping grounds.<BR><BR>One year later, a memorial vigil was held
in San Francisco; the following year Boston and a few other cities joined in,
and this year hundreds of observances will be held in dozens of
countries.<BR><BR>Boston’s transgender community remembers local victims
Chanelle Pickett, Debra Forte, Monique Thomas, Georgette Hart, Denise Pugliesi,
Monique Rogers, Lisa Daniels, Rita Hester, and too many more, mostly uncounted
and unnoticed by all but their friends and family.</FONT></DIV>
