Listen to Minnesota NOW President Shannon Drury….

…on local radio program Quick on the UpTake!  She spoke on October 9, 2009, about Minnesota NOW’s support for a recently passed amendment to the Defense Apropriations Bill that would bar military contractors from settling sexual assault, sexual harrassment, and other civil rights cases in binding (and secret) arbitration.

To learn more about the amendment, why U.S. Sen. Al Franken introduced it, and what other Minnesota groups supported it: Franken Amendment to Support Victims of Sexual Assault Passes (Minnesota Independent)
