You 'N' Rights Coalition You 'N' Rights

Two copies of an issue of the newspaper entitled "You 'N' Rights." Volume III Issue 1 dated February 1980. Published in Los Angeles, California by the You 'N' Rights Coalition. This issue appears to be the first under the group's new name and is heavy on activist content. Several articles either report on recent activism or urge immediate effort. There's more than one article on attendees' experiences at the previous month's march on Sacramento as well as a request to phone a certain United States Senator to get his support for anti-discrimination legislation. To that end, the last page of this issue contained a blank petition with the heading, “FIRST SENATE GAY RIGHTS BILL IN HISTORY TO BE INTRODUCED.” It urged, “support of Senator Tsongas' Gay Fair Employment Bill and I would like my Senators to co-sponsor this important civil rights legislation.”
