| Host of this rally/protest: Time of rally/protest: Location of rally/protest (include Google map): Contact info: Facebook group (or website)- Host's phone/email- Invite as many people as you can. Bring homemade protest signs and accessories. Buy products (yard signs, bumper stickers, banners, etc.) and donate to the 'California Marriage Equality Act' ballot campaign. Have refreshments: Bottled water, snacks, etc. Remember: Please be respectful and civil with people who may disagree with you. Have police authorities with you during the protest/rally. This is to help keep civility and stability. | California has a huge diverse population and its up to this ballot initiative campaign to reach out and speak up for the Golden State's diversity. What can you do to support marriage equality NOW? Speak to at least three people you know whether it be a friend, relative, or acquaintance from California. Keep up the conversation for months and don't give up. Please note that this event is just a plan. Grassroots protests and rallies won't begin probably until the start of the 2010 Gubernatorial Election, which is next year. But it never hurts to start grassroots conversations NOW and begin gathering supporters when the event comes. Take care! ~ADD YOUR UPDATES! |

Description: On October 10-11, 2009, we will gather in Washington, D.C. from all across America to let our elected leaders know that now is the time for full equal rights for LGBT people. This is simply a major national strategy to kick start our national grassroots Equality Across America campaign. We will gather. We will strategize. We will march. And we will leave energized and empowered to do the work that needs to be done in every community across the nation. This is only the beginning. We are starting a group of organizers to do the groundwork in OC. At the meeting we will be discussing the National March on Washington and related events including the cross-country caravan for equality. We will announce upcoming events/fundraisers; get feedback from those who spoke with their Congressional Representatives and discuss Orange County's involvement in the strides for equality. You do not have to be attending the march in DC to attend this meeting. Anyone who wants to help make strides towards equality is welcome. We need your input! Time: Thursday, August 13 from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Location: Denny's (Santa Ana, CA) 2314 E 17th Street Santa Ana, CA 92701 Directions: Located off of the 55 Fwy at 17th St & Tustin
