Justice for Gwen Araujo

Category: Business

When the men accused of murdering Gwen Araujo, a woman they beat, bound and strangled after they discovered that she was biologically male, went to trial, Andy Shie Kee Wong, the Development Director of Community United Against Violence decided to use a blog to document the trial. Volunteers, including CUAV's Speaker's Bureau Program Director, Connie Champagne, followed the trial's proceedings and recounted them on the blog. They recorded the defendants' testimonies word for word and filled in the blanks for readers who may not have understood the subtleties of the proceedings.
