is the reason we don't have NYC organizer/location for the DOMA protest on jan.10 because it's just not posted yet or because no one's signed up to organize?
if we don't have an organizer, what's the process of finding/becoming one? let's make sure the glbt community is seen and heard from the very start of the new year! xx. k

Last Sunday, Jose Sucuzhanay, and Ecuadorian immigrant and resident of Bushwick, Brooklyn, was brutally beaten while walking home from a bar with his brother, Romel. The two were walking with their arms linked and leaning close together. They were attacked by four men yelling anti-gay and anti-Hispanic epithets. The men proceeded to beat Jose with a bottle and a baseball bat. Mr. Sucuzhanay, who is on life support at Elmhurst hospital, is a respected business owner and father of two.
The New York City Anti-Violence Project has organized a vigil this Sunday, December 14th at 2:00 PM. The vigil will begin at the corner of Myrtle Ave and Grove Street in Brooklyn, followed by a march to the corner of Bushwick Ave. and Kossuth Place, where the assault occurred. Please join community organizers from organizations from across New York City, including Make the Road NY, New York City Anti-Violence Project, Audre Lorde Project, US Dept of Justice Community Relations, Generation Q, Greater New York Labor-Religion Coalition, GLOBE, Labor Council for Latin American Advancement, NAACP, The National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights, NYCLU, New York Immigration Coalition, Sunset Park Alliance of Neighbors, We are all Brooklyn, YKASEC, and elected officials, including City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. This horrible attack underscores the reality that HOMOPHOBIA HURTS EVERYONE, not just LGBT people. What does it say about our society when two brothers cannot show basic affection without being attacked as gay and brutally beaten? We in the LGBT community need to show solidarity with Latinos, African Americans, and everyone else who is vicitimized by the pathology of homophobia.

Just checking: Any news or updates on collection points to get the food to Soundview Health Care Network? I tried clicking on the link (jointheimpactnyc.wetpaint.com), but it didn't lead anywhere. Thanks.

I LOVE Whoopi and Joy - even Barbara, but Shari, well my feelings on her range everyday. As an American, Elisabeth should be publicly persecuted and have tomatoes thrown at her! Why don't you guys organize a public protest for them spewing their venom. I know it's their opinion but I hate how Shari says she is so GAY FRIENDLY but has a problem with gay marriage because of her religion!!!!
Please keep in touch with me... today's program 11/18 - just totally angered me! ScottBoardman.BlogSpot.com Scott

Hey All,
I want to get a candlelight vigil for Harvey Milk going on Nov. 27th, which will be the 30th anniversary of his assassination. Does anyone have any ideas for possible locations? Jeremy

Any idea if counter protests are planned? I'd love to come with my husband and our 8-year-old son, but I don't want to subject him to an angry mob.
