We were amazed how quickly Join the Impact organized the aniti-prop 8 march and rally. And dismayed at the lack of publicity the Oct 11th march has received locally. How can I help JTI and other organizations organize local groups support the march?
While we are focusing attention on prop 71, not much can be done until the count is finished. Is Join the Impact planning on supporting the Oct 11th March? Please call me or write me - I'll be in DC as we were in '93. It was amazing. Surely in this age of Facebook, MySpace and the internet we can rally our community. If ever there was a time and a president who might hear us, it is now. Thanks, Stuart Wilber

My name is Meighan and I am a long time activist here in the city of Seattle. Last year we saw two amazing things happen – the election of President Barack Obama and the passage of Proposition 8 and Amendment 2. Both changed the direction in which our country is going, both for the better and for the worse. After the passage of Proposition 8 and Amendment 2 we saw a huge number of people organize themselves very quickly and stage counter protests to voice their opposition to the legalization of bigotry and bias. Seattle saw a huge turnout at their No on Prop 8 rally last fall. These events made a statement that was heard nationwide: the legalization of hatred will not be tolerated.
PRIDE is coming up on June 28th. What an amazing opportunity it can be to get your message out to the masses – whatever that message may be for you. This year is no different. The theme of this year’s PRIDE is Love, Peace and Equality. What better opportunity to continue to momentum that the passage of Proposition 8 and Amendment 2 started than by participating as a Repeal Proposition 8 contingent in the PRIDE celebration? We all have a vested interest in winning our equal rights for a myriad of reasons. But we cannot win in spirit alone. It takes organization, visibility, vocalization and work to make a substantial change happen in the world. No one person can do it alone but in working together for a common purpose we can, and have, seen amazing change for the better. I hope that your enthusiasm from last year can continue into this year. The fight is far from over but victory is very near. I am hosting an informative planning meeting on Wednesday, April 22nd at 7:30pm at Café Vita on Broadway (1005 East Pike Street, on Capitol Hill near the new location of the Cha Cha and one block up the hill from Neumos). Please let me know if you can attend. We can repeal Proposition 8 and Amendment 2. We can defeat bigotry. We can legalize love.

I was wondering if we have anything organized for Valentines Day in Santa Cruz County, CA. If so I'd love to be of help, and if not lets get something going! A day dedicated to love seems a prime opportunity to spread the word about marriage equality! :)

These three counties are close enough to Seattle, WA that they can be involved with the organizations there, but there is a large enough LGBT community north of Seattle, especially in Bellingham, WA.
I am looking for others who would like to assist in organizing a support group for protests and rallies such as Light Up The Night and the DOMA Protest. We need to have our voices heard and stop keeping quiet because we're seen as taboo. Like it or not, there is a Civil Rights movement going on. The Gay Civil Rights Movement began in 1969. This year has made it a 40 year battle to end hate and intolerance against the LGBT community...where do you stand?
