Last year we saw two amazing things happen – the election of President Barack Obama and the passage of Proposition 8 and Amendment 2. Both changed the direction in which our country is going, both for the better and for the worse. After the passage of Proposition 8 and Amendment 2 we saw a huge number of people organize themselves very quickly and stage counter protests to voice their opposition to the legalization of bigotry and bias. Seattle saw a huge turnout at their No on Prop 8 rally last fall. These events made a statement that was heard nationwide: the legalization of hatred will not be tolerated.
PRIDE is coming up on June 28th. What an amazing opportunity it can be to get your message out to the masses – whatever that message may be for you. This year is no different. The theme of this year’s PRIDE is Love, Peace and Equality. What better opportunity to continue to momentum that the passage of Proposition 8 and Amendment 2 started than by participating as a Repeal Proposition 8 contingent in the PRIDE celebration? We all have a vested interest in winning our equal rights for a myriad of reasons. But we cannot win in spirit alone. It takes organization, visibility, vocalization and work to make a substantial change happen in the world. No one person can do it alone but in working together for a common purpose we can, and have, seen amazing change for the better. I hope that your enthusiasm from last year can continue into this year. The fight is far from over but victory is very near. I am hosting an informative planning meeting on Wednesday, April 22nd at 7:30pm at Café Vita on Broadway (1005 East Pike Street, on Capitol Hill near the new location of the Cha Cha and one block up the hill from Neumos). Please let me know if you can attend. We can repeal Proposition 8 and Amendment 2. We can defeat bigotry. We can legalize love.

I was wondering if there was anyone or any group doing outreach to communities that are not supportive of us? I'm thinking of something along the lines of soulforce's american family outing: A non-threatening visit to an unaccepting church. But am certainly open to any idea or suggestions.

Our group can't attend all the rallys but want to start with the march to Westlake. What is the scheduled time for actual movement of people to Westlake? I get a sense people will start getting ready at Volunteer Park at noon for the actual march which starts at 1pm. Can anyone clarify this? And for those of us who need to join enroute what is the march route? Aloha ---> Broadway --> Pike --> Westlake
TIA

Any ideas where we could get these? Hardware store?? I saw a suggestion to pull up left over campaign signs, but I suspect that any left around here would be too wet to use!! I planned on using a paint roller extension but it's thicker than 1/4 inch.
