Bullying & Democracy At Apple Village
Grey, overcast skies with drizzle did not dampen the welcome that residents of Apple Village in Beverly gave to Senator Joan B. Lovely and Michael Kane, Executive Director of the Mass Alliance of HUD Tenants on Saturday, June 24. The Apple Village Tenants Association hosted a cookout for everyone with the hope of welcoming all and overcoming differences. The event included a "meet and greet" with Senator Lovely and Michael Kane when they spoke about bullying and legislation intended to prevent bullying.

I realized that people interested in bullying senior citizens/persons with disabilities needed information. Moreover, bully-victims need to know that they are not alone, even though bullies and mobbing groups try to make bully victims feel isolated.
After over a year’s hiatus, I have gotten around to updating the general links list. I have found 22 new articles, blog posts, and other resources. I would like to highlight some of the more important links:

We have been seeking relief for almost a decade, and we are no longer pleading and petitioning, we now demand legislation to protect our rights.
