Speakers cited rape statistics, spoken testimonies followed, then a candlelit vigil and a march to Massachusetts Street led by organizers calling for an end to sexual harassment, domestic violence, and abuse.

Insurance reform urged to aid working poor in Kansas
State Senator Sandy Praeger says a pending health insurance reform bill could help the working poor like Teresa Beard of Topeka. Beard, a single mother of two, earns too little for private coverage yet too much for Medicaid, risking high medical bills if an accident occurs. The bill would ban preexisting condition denial, cap rates for high risk, and require policy portability.
