In Washington state, it takes just a few minutes of driving to find a community with radically different values and ways of life.
A 30-minute drive from Bellingham, known as a left-leaning college town, will bring you to Lynden home to just 15,000 people and more than 40 houses of worship in and around the town. Lynden is the only community that I ve had the people say, Hi, on the streets, said Troy Luginbill, director and curator of the Lynden Pioneer Museum. So, ideal small-town America.

A groundswell of activists and leaders of grassroot groups is preparing a multifaceted and sustained effort for justice. They want to push local and state officials to set a trial for Aaron Dean. The former Fort Worth police officer shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson through her back window in late 2019 after Jefferson’s neighbor called a non-emergency line to report an open door at the home that Jefferson shared with her mother.
Dean remains free on bail, and Judge David Hagerman, whose docket is slated to handle the trial, has tentatively but not officially set August as the trial date. Jefferson’s sister, Amber Carr, said the local criminal justice system cares nothing for the suffering caused by Dean and seemingly endless legal delays.

John Sullivan, 26, and Casey Robertson, 47, faced off over the summer at Black Lives Matter protests.
When Black Lives Matter protests kicked off in Utah in late May, John Sullivan noticed a lot of the leaders were white.
So the Black, 26-year-old, former speedskater decided to start his own organization. He called it Insurgence USA, and he immediately started organizing protests for racial justice.
