| 11/15 Protest Info | Address & Map* | Notes & Updates |
| City: Tucson, Arizona Date: November 14 (Friday) Time: 5pm Organizer: WINGSPAN Contact info: wingspan@wingspan.org Supporting Organizations: WINGSPAN Please send this announcement out to your distribution lists and post to your MySpace and Facebook pages. Forwarding it is as easy as clicking on the "share this page" link at the bottom of this page. We need your help to spread the word! | El Presidio Park: (115 North Church St., on the Plaza in front of City Hall) We will officially launch FAMILIES YOU KNOW at Friday's event. The FAMILIES YOU KNOW campaign will feature your families, in which one or more members is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or a straight ally, families where children, siblings, parents, grandparents, and friends are loved, respected, cared for, and nurtured. Why? Because the narrow definition of "family" espoused by Prop 102 supporters hurts everyone. We know that families come in many forms, but what defines them is an unbreakable bond of trust, respect, and concern for each other's well being. |
Now is the time for our community and allies to come together in mutual support, honoring the anger and disappointment we feel about the passage of Prop 102, and to heal. Even more importantly, we need to channel our feelings, strengths and energy into a positive force for social change. Key to this effort is Wingspan's FAMILIES YOU KNOW campaign, a video, photography and storytelling project that empowers you to change hearts and minds through sharing your family stories. You and your family are not just talking about "values," you're living them - balancing work and soccer practice, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, sharing joys and sorrows. With your help, we will raise awareness, confront prejudice, and begin a conversation in the community where all families are respected, valued, and not exploited for short-term political gain. You can learn more about FAMILIES YOU KNOW and watch the first video here. |

Our plans and vision are to set into motion a new proposition for the introduction of Civil Partnerships in the State of Arizona, it’s all about Equal Rights for same sex couples. Please tell us how you feel about this. Please keep in mind that we are focused on Equal Rights not the Word gay marriage.

I will be there. I can hand out flyers at this UofA event : "UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA STUDENTS AND STAFF HOLD A CELEBRATION-STOP THE HATE & CELEBRATE: YES WE DID!
Attendess Highlight the Needs for Reform for the Arizona Wildcat and Celebrate the Election of Barack Obama to the Presidency of the United States TUCSON, AZ- University of Arizona students, faculty, and staff will be gathering on the UA mall on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. to attend the Stop the Hate & Celebrate: Yes We Did! celebration. Organized by students and staff at UA, this event was created for individuals who feel that it is important to celebrate the election, which was overshadowed last Wednesday by the comic printed in the Arizona Daily Wildcat." This celebrarion is a response to a racist comic that was run the day after the election; it could be a good place to get the word out |
