Cheryl Sabel Radio Interview
Cheryl Sabel is running for Congress in Alabama’s 2nd District. Cheryl is the president of Alabama NOW, and she was a good friend to my brother. She spoke beautifully about him at his memorial service and at this year’s hate crimes vigil.
Click here to listen to her interview with BlogTalkRadio (it starts at the 9:15 mark and runs about 20 minutes). Cheryl speaks at length about the Responsible Plan to end the war in Iraq, which not only advocates an end to military operations but also a comprehensive diplomatic and humanitarian effort to repair the damage done and work toward stability in the region — and the restoration of civil liberties here at home.
She addresses the high poverty rate in Alabama and the need for quality education and a living wage. She talks about her work with Montgomery AIDS Outreach and the importance of accurate and comprehensive sex education to prevent pregnancy and the spread of STDs. She wraps up the interview with the purpose of her campaign, to be a voice for those who face discrimination and to counter what’s become a culture of hatred against those who are different.
It’s great to hear a progressive voice here in Alabama. Go Cheryl!
