All,
I point everyone’s attention to the following from my supplemental police
report and complaint signed by Ellen Weaver former CACIL Director and MSP
Seargent Helms:
“
“On Tuesday, September 15, Ellen Weaver called me back. She stated the people
who were going to protest had recently been part of CACIL, but had
disagreements about sponsorship. She stated that the potential protesters were
from the group ADAPT and wanted to disrupt her event. She said CACIL originally
had scheduled the Freedom Bus, but the proprietor had backed out when he heard
of the protest. Weaver said she had reserved parking spots on Capitol Avenue
for the bus, but if it showed up in support of the protesters, she would not
let it park there. Weaver said the protest might be organized by Susan
Fitzmorrice and Eleanor Canter. When asked about this information, Weaver said
they had posted their intent on the CACIL Facebook page.
Weaver identified Sarah Grivetti as her person in charge of the Thursday
CACIL event.
On Tuesday, September 15, I talked to Sarah Grivetti. She said everyone in
this matter is on the same side and have been members of the same
organizations. She stated the protesters are protesting one of CACIL’s
sponsors. She wished the matter could be resolved, but it was unlikely now. She
is now concerned that the protesters will disrupt the event, which is supposed
to be a celebration of the progress of Americans with Disabilities issues.
Grivetti identified Sue Fitzmorrice and Eleanor Canter as the principle
organizers of the protest. She said that Fitzmorrice had hired the ‘Freedom
Bus’ and had reserved an area across the street from the Capitol to display it
there.
I met with Lt. Jason Williams to discuss the operational plan for this rally.
Based on information gleaned from social media, two large groups with opposing
views would be present at the rally. It was decided Capitol Security Officers
would be deployed on the grounds to keep peace during the event due to the
large number of participants expected and the high probability of opposing
groups coming together.
On Thursday, September 17, I met with Ellen Weaver and Sarah Grivetti at 8:30
AM. They stated they did not want the protesters to disrupt their event. We
agreed that I would allow them to protest on the other side of the Austin Blair
Statue, and they would not be allowed into the main area of the event, near the
East Steps. It should be noted, the East steps and East Entrance to the
Capitol are currently closed for construction. The event itself was being held
near the East steps. “
“
This is proof positive of both Weaver’s and Gravettie’s direct violations of
our civil rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act and their planned
viiolation of our Constitutional Rights under the First Amendment, including
prior restraint of the right to leaflet at this very area dedicated for
leafletting!
And Ms. Gravetti is a State Actor as the Chair of the Michigan Statwide
Independent Living Council and as a member of the Michigan Rehabilitation
Counccil.
Weaver is another story as she is and was a total tool of Peckham which, by
the way was the outfit, amonst others being protested against. No conflict of
interest their right.
Regardless, is this the type of naked agression that the Chair of the SILC is
supposed to be involved with relative to the rights of people with disabilities?
It speaks for itself!
Regardless I’m now requesting formally any correspondences from Ms. Gravetti
to any other state of Michigan employee, or public official related to the
September 17 outrage against our individual and collective civil and
constitutional rights.
Moreover, please submit these as just some public comments for the record at
Friday’s SILC meeting.
And please send them to each and every member of the MSILC.
Nothing About Us Without Us!
Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
