Protesters bring their message to the jail’s doorstep Sunday. (Ken Stange photo)
Keaton Farris
The work is not done.
While a rally Sunday drew more than 250 people to the Island County Jail to protest the death by dehydration/starvation of former Coupeville High School athlete Keaton Farris, the battle is ongoing.
One jail official has resigned and another been terminated since the rally and Sheriff Mark Brown has pledged to implement wide-ranging jail reforms.
You can see his letter to the public at http://www.whidbeynewstimes.com/opinion/309623351.html.
While that is a start, Keaton’s family, friends and supporters want to keep the issue front and center, and continue to picket the jail each day.
Volunteers are needed to hold signs for short shifts, and it provides a perfect opportunity for anyone who might not have been able to attend Sunday to join the movement.
When we are one, we are strong. When we are one, we will make things right.
We were one Sunday. We need to remain one, each day moving forward.
