Coatesville Dems: GREEN HANDKERCHIEF Abortion Should Be Safe and Legal. The handkerchief has become a symbol of women’s rights, resistance, and equality. It was inspired by the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Argentina

Welcome to the Coatesville Dems Blog

Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

GREEN HANDKERCHIEF Abortion Should Be Safe and Legal. The handkerchief has become a symbol of women’s rights, resistance, and equality. It was inspired by the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Argentina

"The handkerchief has become a symbol of women’s rights, resistance, and equality. It was inspired by the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Argentina, who wore white handkerchiefs to draw attention to kidnappings and killings of loved ones during the dictatorship. Green has often been associated with health, and with a historic movement to legalize abortion rights in Argentina, the green handkerchief or pañuelo verde in Spanish has come to symbolize hope, defiance, and the fight for change."
