We participated in the protest at the West Tisbury Library for Alan Dershowitz’s book talk. His talk about encouraging free speech and being willing to answer our questions illustrates that he is willfully ignorant.

Speaking for myself and my husband, we were there to honor and give voice to the women and girls who have been preyed upon, assaulted and silenced by those who Dershowitz chose to defend, enable and empower.

That you continue to not own your choices Mr. Dershowitz is on you. It’s not about free speech. Sadly the old adage, “there is none so blind as he who will not see,” applies.
