Time to meet another core CORR organizer (lol), as promised. This is Melissa Terra, CORR’s Telegram admin!
Melissa works for Veterans Inc., a social service for veterans. You can call (508) 791-1213 ext. 1190 to ask HR why they are employing a pro-fascist COVID denier.
For new readers, CORR (Citizens Organized to Restore Rights) is a far-right “patriot” group that does “security” for other violent fascist groups, including Super Happy Fun America, and have been raising money for their “Heroes of January 6,” including two dipshits from SHFA.
For a review of SHFA’s history of violent and hateful targeting of marginalized groups, read @thatcaseyquin’s article on their Straight Pride Parade in 2019.
On May 27, 2021, the admin of the CORR Telegram channel, username Melissalovely, posted the picture in Tweet #1 to the channel.
This photo also Melissa Terra’s Facebook header, so we know we’ve got the right person.
She also has an unfortunate TikTok, if you want to listen to some anti-vax ranting and watch her try to turn the arrests of two other anti-mask weirdos, Kevin Mackie and Amanda Miller, into some sort of denier cause celebre.
In addition to running CORR’s social media, she has run for office alongside David Steinhof (fortunately, also unsuccessfully).
We threaded on David Steinhof, the founder of CORR, last week (as did Solidarity Against Hate Boston):
Hello Boston! Over the next few days, we’ll be introducing you to some of the organizers from CORR, the chuds rallying with SHFA on 11/7.
Let’s start with the most public one, founder David Steinhof, who @Bos_Solidarity introduced y’all to yesterday: https://t.co/WhF9GJref6

Terra is currently running for Somerset Board of Selectmen, so if you live in or know any folks in Somerset, please do what you can to ensure this “neutral candidate” (lol) does not get into office.
To recap, your action items are:
-Call Melissa Terra’s employer at (508) 791-1213 ext. 1190
-If you are in Somerset, keep her off the Board of Selectmen
-On Sunday, Nov. 7 at 11:30, show up at Boston Common for @Bos_Solidarity’s counterprotest: http://bit.ly/MaskUpNov7
EDITOR’S NOTES – JANUARY 8TH, 2023: We apologize for omitting that, by July 12th, 2021 and well before this thread had been posted, Melissa Terra had lost her Somerset Select Board campaign to Kathy Souza.
According to Melissa Terra’s LinkedIn profile, she is still employed at Veterans, Inc.
