A Stevenson city councilor protested topless for trans rights. She now faces a recall campaignLucy Lauser was arrested on the Fourth of July for her public protest against the Trump administration.

I didn't want to do it ... it just felt like something that had to be done," Lauser said.

For me, it's a matter of life or death." ...
