In historic district, I choose preservation over solar panels: Letters
In historic district, I choose preservation over solar panels: Letters. It’s always a little bit unusual whenever I agree with Historic District Commissioners Martin Ryan, Jon Wyckoff, and Reagan Ruedig about anything, but I do agree with them this time.

Heath: Our kids deserve better
On Friday nights at our offices in Portsmouth you’ll hear the sound of laughter coming from one of the many classrooms in our building. You are likely to see a group of middle and high school students working on an art project, debriefing their school week, or talking about their latest crush. They come from diverse families and backgrounds across the Seacoast (and beyond). What ties them together is their experience as LGBTQ+ youth and students. They have an opportunity to be seen, heard, and held in a community of their peers. It is my incredible privilege as the Executive Director of Seacoast Outright to help create space for community and joy in a time when our kids (and their families) are increasingly under attack.
