Segment 2:
This week the Bangor-based group PICA (Power in Community Alliances) launched a “Dignity for All” Campaign, asking community members and elected officials to take a pledge in support of equal rights — in the workplace, the legal system, education, social services and health care, and for all to be treated with dignity. Speakers at the event pointed out that during tough economic times, the most vulnerable members of the community are often scapegoated.
