Mousin’s first recollections of public protest found him as a grade school student and two siblings dressed as the three patriots replicated in Archibald Willard’s “The Spirit of 76” during his hometown’s Fourth of July parade.  He later observed his parents organize and advocate regarding school funding issues, challenging municipal public works decisions, and seeking more equitable health care options.  Whether organizing a high school student protest or presenting his first church sermon during a high school youth service advocating for social justice, he has blended a respect for legal advocacy with public activism against sovereign abuse of civil and human rights and a more just distribution of the earth’s bounty.
