Share your story. Your story of discrimination or support must be heard. Send it with your name and address to info@cfep-ne.org. If you feel comfortable, also share your story with family, friends and co-workers. Let them know that this affects someone they may really care for, and in turn could affect them as well. You could also send it to the Omaha World Herald.
