Racists Target Coeur d’Alene Activist

Item: Coeur d'Alene activist feels threatened: Local human rights activist Rachel Dolezal has recently been targeted by racism/Maureen Dolan, Press

More Info: A local human rights advocate has become the target of something she fights every day -- racism. Rachel Dolezal, the education director at Coeur d'Alene's Human Rights Education Institute, awoke Sunday morning ready to enjoy a sunny, late summer day. Instead, she discovered someone had left a noose just outside her front door. "I spent a lot of time in Mississippi so when I saw that rope, I knew what it was," Dolezal said.

Question: What should be done re: this situation?
