Jan BenDor (born 1946) is a women's rights activist based in the Ann Arbor area of Michigan in the United States.
[4][5] In the early 1970s, BenDor worked as part of the anti-rape movement to change Michigan State law related to sexual assault.
The group also cited Monaghan's right wing activities in Central America, discriminatory hiring practices, and anti-union stance as reasons for the boycott.
[1] The Detroit chapter of the NAACP followed in 1990 with a call for a similar boycott of the chain because of Monaghan's lack of response to the Operation Fair Share Program, which promoted the hiring of blacks.
BenDor served for over a decade as Trustee, Planning Commissioner, and Deputy Township Clerk for Pittsfield Charter Township, where she worked in support of green space preservation, establishment of long term plans for the maintenance of public services, restrictions on predatory lending, election reform, and promotion of voter registration.
[2] Between 2007 and 2010, BenDor took action to preserve a 77-acre parcel of agricultural land in Superior Township, Michigan, where she lives.
[11][12] The land had attracted interest from developers, who hoped to rezone it and open a privately operated sewage-treatment system on it with the intention of serving a planned 236-home subdivision.
