| PROPONENT of ballot initiative: | ORGANIZER info, time, and location: | EVENT details: |
| Proponent of ballot initiative: Charles Lowe Office phone number: 1-800-778-2998 Official website: http://www.yesonequality.com/ Official Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=48303085809 Secretary of State website (ballot initiative page): http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_j.htm
| 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! |

| Outdoor Area near the Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Starbucks at 125 S. Market Street near Plaza de Cesar Chavez Park. | Sara - siliconvalleyagainst8@gmail.com | Meeting times: 3:45 - Meet in front of Starbuck's for a procession and vigil in front of St. Joseph's Cathedral. 4:45 - Meet at the Starbuck's for the Candlelight Vigil and Procession. We will silently walk from the Starbuck's, around Cesar Chavez Park and gather in front of the MOMA, where we will stop for a Speak Out, where anyone who would like to speak will have the opportunity to do so. We also need people to hold large banners with LGBT-positive messages. We have 16 bannes that are the size of twin extra long sheets and each need to be held by 2 people, so we are hoping to get 32 people willing to carry the banners. Please e-mail siliconvalleyagainst8@gmail.com for more information or if you would like to volunteer to carry a banner. Bring candles - dripless candles work best, and you can put them in a small cup to make it easier to hold them. Please help us get out the word! | |||

We had a modest but enthusiastic turnout -- 50 to 75 people--and had a wonderfully positive experience amongst all the holiday revelers at the Cesar de Chavez Plaza Christmas in the Park, in downtown San Jose. Craig was there with his magnificent signs. Sara and friends lit up the night with their smiles and the passers-by and motorists gave us lots and lots of thumbs ups and supportive honks. Photos can be seen here at jointheimpact.com in the following album:

Until we meet again... Nikki |

So I PMed JoinTheImpact, who said their mission statement prohibits boycotting of businesses because of the actions of individuals. Yet the events in my area (Palo Alto, CA and San Jose, CA) are about boycotting Cinemark.
Cinemark gave no money to defeat prop 8, and I am absolutely vehemently against boycotting a business because of the actions of individuals -- even CEOs -- in supporting the opposition. On the flip side, would you want people protesting your employers because you gave $ to defeat prop 8? I don't have to worry about that -- but many people DO have to worry about it, and I guarantee you it'll hurt more people than it helps if we go down this road. The CEO of Cinemark isn't going to get fired over a few protests, but John or Jane who's got a gay daughter or friend or son or relative -- might be. There are plenty of BUSINESSES who gave $ as BUSINESSES to pass prop 8. Let's boycott them. Until then, this sympathetic straight person will wait for news that this is no longer occurring before joining ANY events in support of overturning prop 8. Deirdre (pissed as hell) |
