WHAT SHE'S FIGTHING FOR
You have only heard one side of the story.
Constable Hatch is upsetting the status quo and has suffered the consequences. She has been targeted by the powers that be, using the many tactics at their disposal. She has not received any compensation for many, many months—a judge continues to obstruct her case load. Once the details of the system became apparent, Constable Hatch tried to change what she could, to stand up for those who don't have a voice.
Now she needs your help to return to office and accomplish these goals:
-
Avoid unnecessary evictions that destroy families and scar children
-
Stop the destruction of personal property, even for those evicted with just cause
-
Hire employees looking for a second chance to help their community
