Support the November 2010 Gubernatorial Election ballot initiative - the California Marriage Equality Act | ||
| PROPONENT of ballot initiative: | ORGANIZER info, time, and location: | EVENT details: |
| Proponent of ballot initiative: Charles Lowe Office phone number: 1-800-778-2998 Official website: http://www.yesonequality.com/ Official Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=48303085809 Secretary of State website (ballot initiative page): http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_j.htm
| Host of this rally/protest: Anyone can be a host. Time of rally/protest: In the afternoon until late evening. Date will be added in the future since this election will take place on November 2010. A LOT of time to begin gathering support --> look at "event details". Location of rally/protest (include Google map): Blacow Rd/Stevenson Blvd intersection (near John F. Kennedy high school). -OR- Mowry/Fremont Ave intersection. Contact info: Facebook group (or website)- Host's phone/email- 1) Invite as many people as you can - more than 40 people needed. 2) Bring homemade protest signs (eg. "restore marriage for same-sex couples", "honk if your YES on...", etc.), signs/banners bought from the campaign (eg. "Vote YES on Prop..."), and accessories (eg. rainbow flags, california flag, american flag, white ribbons, etc). 3) 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! ~ADD YOUR UPDATES! |

GOOD NEWS! Join the Impact has a blog about this "Day of Decision" event.
Read the blog here: http://jointheimpact.com/2009/03/day-of-decision/
Visit the Join the Impact: Day of Decision WIKI, here: http://dayofdecision.wetpaint.com
As a means of gearing up for the upcoming California State Supreme Court ruling on Proposition 8, a host of LGBT rights activists and organizations have launched "The Day of Decision," a nationwide call to organize demonstrations and rallies across the U.S. on the day that the Court announces its opinion over whether Prop 8 is valid or discriminatory. As the organizers call it, this day will either be a day of "celebration" or a day of "protest."
Robin Tyler, one of the original plaintiffs in the case (along with her wife, Diane Olson), is one of the co-organizers of the action. Here's the reason why this is coming together, in her words:
Check out the site. And if you're interested in staying in the loop, join the Day of Decision google group here. Together, we can all respond with unity regardless of whether the California State Supreme Court invalidates Prop 8, or adjudicates discrimination.

"Win or lose, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community & our allies must respond immediately to the forthcoming California Supreme Court decision on whether to invalidate Proposition 8...We've seen a tremendous outpouring from LGBT and allied individuals and organizations who wanted to join together in unity the night of the decision regardless of the outcome."The site that organizers have launched, Day of Decision, is up and running and offers people the opportunity to sign up to host a "Day of Decision" rally in their community. There are sample downloadable posters, flyers, and more to help folks organize locally to respond to a Court decision that will clearly have national implications. Towleroad already lists that a few organizations have signed on as co-sponsors, including Join the Impact, Centerlink, (the National Association of LGBT Community centers), and Metropolitan Community Churches.
Check out the site. And if you're interested in staying in the loop, join the Day of Decision google group here. Together, we can all respond with unity regardless of whether the California State Supreme Court invalidates Prop 8, or adjudicates discrimination.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a page on the site for Fremont. The Yes on 8 signs appeared to far outnumber the No on 8 signs around town, so I wasn't sure if there was much support for our cause here. My partner & I will most likely attend one of the bigger rallies around the Bay on Saturday, but would like to help make more of an impact here in Fremont going forward. We did try to attend a meeting for a group here in Fremont promoting awareness and a hate-free community...but no one else showed up! It was disappointing, but not a huge surprise. I think there are more of us out there...we just tend to leave the city limits rather than make ourselves visible here at home. Time to change all that! Anyone else out there hear what I'm saying?!
