| LIGHT UP THE NIGHT FOR EQUALITY | DECEMBER 20, 2008 | 5PM WHAT IS IT? On December 20th, we ask that you join us again for a nation-wide demonstration that will make an impact on the private sector. Candlelight vigils will be held at commercial centers in cities across the country in remembrance of the rights that once were for 18,000 marriages, and in honor of the rights that one day will be again - for EVERYONE.

| STILL NEED ORGANIZER | Organizing is easy, but if you don't have an organizer in your city, get a group of 5-10 friends together, print out the Light Up the Night Holiday Cards, and head to your local mall and start passing them out. Don't forget to keep count of how many cards you passed out. There will be a place to report the numbers soon! | ||||

| 11/15 Protest Info | Address & Map* | Notes & Updates |
| City: Blacksburg Time: 1:30pm EST Organizer: tams28 Contact info: TBD Facebook Listing: Facebook Event | Virginia Tech Drillfield Drive Blackburg, VA View the VT Drillfield, War Memorial and Chapel. | Rain or shine, meet up at 1:30pm on the MIDDLE of the drillfield, NOT in front of the chapel as originally planned, because there are people getting married there and we should respect that. Our route: From the drillfield, we will march up towards Burruss, past Mcbryde, down past Torgerson and the library, up through the Owens courtyard, up past New Res and Lee to Washington Street. We will march all the way down the sidewalk of Washington Street and turn onto West Campus Drive, then turn right after Harper up towards West End. Once we reach D2, we will incorporate USC’s flash mob idea into our march. Everyone should hug/kiss someone of the same/opposite sex and freeze that way for one minute. After that, we will continue past D2 and go through the Slusher/Main Campbell courtyard before ending back at the drillfield. During the march we should stay OUT of the street and ON the sidewalk as much as possible because if we obstruct traffic we may be asked to disperse. Reminder- paper-product signs are welcome, but please keep them respectful. We don’t like gay-bashing, so don’t bash on religious groups! Also, another reminder- this is not a campus-approved event. This doesn’t mean we aren’t allowed to protest; it simply means campus will not provide VTPD escorts, so we do this at our own risk. See you all Saturday! |
