Hi everyone,
The organizers of the Nashville protest had a great meeting last night and we are ready to keep things moving along! We have some ideas that we are currently working on but none of them will succeed without the help of all of you. We are asking all of our GLBT and straight friends who were at the protest and all of you who couldn't attend as well to join us by going to www.myspace.com/431231556 and adding Impact! Equality to your friends list. We hope to soon have our own web site and other ways for us to all stay in touch but this is the start. |

As one of the organizers of Saturday's protest here in Nashville I keep getting asked "what comes next?" and we should have an answer for you real soon. Since we don't have any other information outlet set up on the web as of yet I ask that everyone keep checking back here and we will pass information along to you as we get it.
Saturday was just the start, there is a lot of hard work left to do, and we will need all of your help! |

Many of you who were at the Nashville protest probably remember a couple of guys who might have looked a bit out of place. They are SHARPS, Skin Heads Against Racial Prejudice (don't believe everything you see on the Geraldo Show, the vast majority of skin heads are not racists) and are really good friend's of mine and my partners. One of them wrote a blog posting on his myspace page explaining his experience at the protest and I was very impressed and moved by it when I read it. I hope you will take the time to take a look. Just go to;
http://www.myspace.com/mikebrocks and click on the "view more" link next to the blog entry entitled "Proposition 8 Protest - A Story" It is great to hear what one of our straight friends thought of the event. |
