ORGANIZER CONTACT INFO
TIME & LOCATIONEVENT DETAILS
Join the Impact - Shreveport
Kathy Lynch 780-5522		At this time, no protest is planned. We are, however, coordinating to collect signatures on the Open Letter to Obama. See the Facebook Event here.

If you would like to coordinate a formal protest or rally, please speak up. :)

Even if there's no rally organized you can still contribute to our goal of obtaining 1 MILLION SIGNATURES on the Open Letter to Obama (linked and explained here) asking him to keep his promises to the LGBTQ community. Some easy ways to get signatures on this letter are:
1. Take them to ally rich places such as gay bars, allied church and organization mtgs, college campuses
2. Print a copy and carry it wherever you go (work, class, meeting friends, family gatherings, etc)
3. Send the letter to everyone you know by email asking them to print it and get signatures and forward your email
4. Make sure you're using the official signature page please. It's important for legal and continuity reasons.


You can start collecting signatures today! They must be mailed by 1/12 for us to take them to Barack Obama.





LIGHT UP THE NIGHT FOR EQUALITY | DECEMBER 20, 2008 | 5PM
WHAT IS IT?
On December 20th, we ask that you join us again for a nation-wide demonstration that will make an impact on the private sector. Candlelight vigils will be held at commercial centers in cities across the country in remembrance of the rights that once were for 18,000 marriages, and in honor of the rights that one day will be again - for EVERYONE.
HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Please take to your local commercial district at 5PM--be it a shopping mall, outdoor financial center, you name it.
  • This will be a peaceful demonstration in the spirit of the holidays.
  • We'll dress alike: make or buy a "Second Class Citizen" t-shirt.
  • This will be the culmination of our National Food Drive for Equality event (see below for details)
WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

  • Hosting peaceful candlelight vigils
  • We will stay silent unless asked a question, we will not yell, instigate, or bare signs. Instead, we will let our shirts do the talking and our candles pay our respects.Bring candles (battery powered if you'll be huddling inside).
  • Singing and/or silence encouraged...chanting is not....keep it peaceful and in the holiday spirit.

NEED 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!
