Karen Stingle has been involved with the library protest for around 10 years. Stingle’s father was in the Foreign Service. In turn, she lived in several locations throughout her life. She got involved in activism while living in DC during high school. “My father was overseas at the time. I started doing peace marches and stuff,” Stingle says. “He got kind of uptight about how I was questioning our government, but I’ve always felt like that was the right thing to do.”
