“It’s an honor to serve a sentence for something that may help improve our community, that may help us take further steps on the road to justice.”
Kate Burns, at City and County Building in Denver, after being sentenced to a fine and community service for a sit-down protest that she and her partner, Sheila Schroeder, staged last September after being denied a marriage license application at the Clerk and Recorders office last September.
