Description

* Invite your friends!*

Are you ready to take a stand for equality? Are you ready to make a difference in your community? Are you ready to learn the organizing skills you need to motivate volunteers and create change?

Join us for Camp Equality Florida! This intensive two-day training is designed to teach the principles of effective community organizing to activists committed to LGBT equality in Florida. No experience is necessary, only the passionate to organize for equality!

Experienced staff of Equality Florida will facilitate trainings in:
- Team Building and Leadership Development
- Fundraising
- Media Relations
- Grassroots Organizing
- And more!

Inspired by Camp Obama, Camp Equality Florida, will build a bottom-up grassroots movement in the state of Florida starting with you, right in your own community. You will take the skills you learn to build a team, plan a strategy, and tell your personal story to create change in your community!

Equality Florida wants to train teams of 4-5 individuals to return to their community using their skills to work together. We are asking that interested applicants recruit friends and members of the community dedicated to equality to join them at Camp Equality Florida!

CathyJames DEMONSTRATION & CANDLELIGHT VIGIL AT FLORIDA GOVERNOR'S WEDDING 0 Dec 10 2008, 2:18 PM EST by CathyJames

ST. PETERSBURG, FL - Impact-Florida will hold a peaceful and respectful demonstration and candlelight vigil outside of Florida Governor Charlie Crist and Carole Rome's wedding and reception.

Governor Crist first stated he believed in a "Live and Let Live" attitude when speaking about Amendment 2. However, he then became an outspoken proponent of Amendment 2, which passed by a margin of only 1.9%. The vague and ambiguous wording of this amendment could go much further than promised. It could adversely effect domestic partners benefits of both heterosexual and gay Floridians.

DATE: December 12, 2008
PHASE #1: Demonstration Outside Wedding Ceremony
TIME: 6 P.M. (Although the Wedding is planned for 7 P.M. Participants are asked to arrive no latter than 6:00 P.M..)

Directions/Map: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Saint+Petersburg&state=FL&address=330+2nd+Ave+N&zipcode=33701
