Freeman Toth has the weighty job of finding people before it is too late.
As one of two homeless outreach and housing stability coordinators for the Community Action Program of Belknap-Merrimack Counties, Toth combs the woods, encampments, parks and gazebos, shelters, soup kitchens and cars. He looks for people who have no consistent place to sleep or to escape life-threatening weather. Late last year he discovered a young man passed out on railroad tracks in freezing temperatures.
Critics and allies of Dawn Johnson agree: Stop the harassment
State Rep. Dawn M. Johnson
Published: 12/22/2020 3:36:04 PM Critics and allies of Dawn Johnson, a school board member and newly elected state representative, are calling for a halt to the harassment, threats and social media thrashing that Johnson has received since she linked anti-Semitic material on the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website, about a week ago.
Since Dec. 9, the incident has sparked a firestorm of outrage over the content of Johnson’s link, and widespread calls for her to resign from her elected roles at state and local levels. Vocal residents have questioned her lack of judgment and underlying attitudes that accessing the notoriously bigoted site may represent. Backlash has snowballed into threats and harassment from community members and from outside New Hampshire, and have even targeted Johnson’s employer.
