Cornelia Seigneur (from her website)

When Cornelia Seigneur saw a Portland, Oregon, police officer get thrown out of a cafe for no other reason than the fact that he was a police officer she blogged about it; about how she didn’t understand why a public servant wasn’t welcome for a cup of coffee. Her blog post went viral and was picked up by national media, resulting in an outpouring of support for the men and women in blue who risk their lives every day to serve and protect.

She started a conversation about how we, the general public, view and treat not just police officers, but all public servants. She’s kept the conversation positive and open while standing up for something she believes in. And I think that’s pretty darn awesome.
