Memorial Park in Claremont
(on Indian Hill Blvd;

Interfaith candlelight vigil in support of marriage equality and LGBT rights

To mark the passage of one year of repressive marriage restrictions
imposed by Prop 8

To honor and respect the committed relationships that continue to flourish
despite determined efforts of the misguided

To give hope to those that yearn for a full and dignified presence in society
with the legal rights all are entitled to

To stand in solidarity with our fellow seekers of truth and justice
who are facing their own trial at the polls in the states of Maine and Washington

To stand in celebration of the power of love

Invite as many people as you can.
Bring homemade protest signs and accessories. Buy products (yard signs, bumper stickers, banners, etc.) and donate to the 'California Marriage Equality Act' ballot campaign.
Have refreshments: Bottled water, snacks, etc.

Remember: Please be respectful and civil with people who may disagree with you. Have police authorities with you during the protest/rally. This is to help keep civility and stability.
California has a huge diverse population and its up to this ballot initiative campaign to reach out and speak up for the Golden State's diversity.

What can you do to support marriage equality NOW? Speak to at least three people you know whether it be a friend, relative, or acquaintance from California. Keep up the conversation for months and don't give up.

Please note that this event is just a plan. Grassroots protests and rallies won't begin probably until the start of the 2010 Gubernatorial Election, which is next year.
But it never hurts to start grassroots conversations NOW and begin gathering supporters when the event comes. Take care!
