Ypsilanti Area Activities

The Ypsilanti Area Activities series documents a variety of activities beginning with her work with the rape awareness project in 1988. A significant set of files relate to the Jane Addams Memorial Center. Included are papers demonstrating Bashert's support for GLBT community needs: child care, counseling, and other services. The next portion of the files - Ypsilanti Campaign for Equality - contains papers from the two campaigns seeking reversal of Ypsilanti's anti-discrimination ordinance. Copies of the official filings with the State of Michigan on fund raising efforts for the 1998 and the 2001 campaigns are included, as well as minutes, correspondence, clippings, and collected information about those individuals (Reggie White, Adele King, Tom Monaghan, and Reverend Levon R. Yuile), who opposed the ordinance.
