| STILL NEEDS 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! | ||||

On October 10-11, people from all over the country will meet in Washington, DC to march for equal rights for LGBT people. This is an important step for the movement of LGBT people and allies, recently reinvigorated by the protests of tens of thousands in California and across the country in response to the anti-gay Prop-8, to demand full LGBT equality! The International Socialist Organization in Western Mass. created this group as part of our effort to put together a coalition of organizations and activists to bring busloads of people to DC as a Western Mass. contingent to help make sure this march is a success and to help grow the movement for LGBT equality in Western Mass. Contact us to get involved!
