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.

almoagnadna KC Protest = Amazing! 2 Dec 17 2008, 4:44 PM EST by ShawnMastroni

This was my first protest of anything. I went with my sister, who recently came out! It was so amazing to see the support of the community - there must have been over 1,000 people in attendance, and we lined JC Nichols Pkwy, receiving loads of honks, thumps-ups, peace signs, and waves. SO FEW people seemed disinterested/offended/ticked off that we were there. They were by far the exception to the norm. Old folks, guys in pickup trucks, bus drivers, taxi drivers, rich folks in Caddy's - it was amazing to see their support of where we stood. I'm so excited to be involved here, and I look forward to many more of these events. But, I must say, I hope it doesn't snow next time! We left a couple hours into it because someone said my lips were turning blue!!! Haha! I hope to see everyone next time - even if it sleets!!

I don't want us to lose our momentum.

I want us to stand outside the downtown Cathedral. I want us to stand outside the biggest Mormon church in the city.

I want them to know that we are not cowed in Cowtown!
