Charlottesville Circuit Court on High Street		 Several couples will be applying for licenses. Others are coming to show support. Join us. Particpants are encouraged to bring flags and signs (which we will leave outside the courthouse when we go in) and Valentine's Day candy to give out -- to the deputies working security at the courthouse that day, and the folks in the Clerk's Office. There will be cheering and flag waving outside, but it needs to be POLITE, DIGNIFIED, and ORDERLY inside the courthouse. Regular court business will be going on. I have let them know to expect us, but let's not make anybody's life difficult. Most of the folks in the Clerk's Office probably wish they could give us marriage licenses. Let's bring them a little Valentine's cheer and send them all home with something interesting to talk about at the supper table.

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.
HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Please take to your local commercial district at 5PM--be it a shopping mall, outdoor financial center, you name it.
  • This will be a peaceful demonstration in the spirit of the holidays.
  • We'll dress alike: make or buy a "Second Class Citizen" t-shirt.
  • This will be the culmination of our National Food Drive for Equality event (see below for details)
 WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

  • Hosting peaceful candlelight vigils
  • We will stay silent unless asked a question, we will not yell, instigate, or bare signs. Instead, we will let our shirts do the talking and our candles pay our respects.Bring candles (battery powered if you'll be huddling inside).
  • Singing and/or silence encouraged...chanting is not....keep it peaceful and in the holiday spirit.
