Thursday, February 12th, 2009 at 6:30 PM to 7PM in front of city hall.
Please bring a candle and anything else you wish to display in remembrance of this brave 15 year old boy.
Be sure to dress for moderate weather (60° weather with 30% chance rain expected). Will update as week progresses.

UPDATE:
25 candles have been purchased! If you plan on being late, you may be candle-less!
Lawrence "Larry" King was 15 when he was shot in the head one year ago by his classmate. Fellow students say that weeks before, Larry had come out as gay and was being bullied by a group of his peers, including the boy charged with his murder.
We need to stop sending a message to our children saying it's 'ok to bully people who are different.' Let's send that message tonight with a peaceful candle light vigil.

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.

STILL NEED AN ORGANIZER
Organizing is easy, but if you don't have an organizer in your city, get a group of 5-10 friends together, print out the Light Up the Night Holiday Cards, and head to your local mall and start passing them out. Don't forget to keep count of how many cards you passed out. There will be a place to report the numbers soon!
