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!

LIGHT UP THE NIGHT FOR EQUALITY
MISSION PARK IN DOWNTOWN VENTURA
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 and public places 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. That night, we will also be collecting food, lightly used clothes, and unwrapped toys to donate to the less fortunate.
HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Please join us at Mission Park at 5PM.
  • This will be a peaceful demonstration in the spirit of the holidays.
  • We'll dress in statement shirts.
  • We will have bins at the park in order to collect toys, clothes, and food that we will donate to the less fortunate, so please bring some canned food, and gently used clothes and unwrapped toys.
 WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

  • Hosting a peaceful candlelight vigil.
  • Aside from our speakers, we will stay silent, 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, flame lit or battery powered.
  • Singing and/or silence encouraged...chanting is not....keep it peaceful and in the holiday spirit.
  • Collecting for our toy/food/clothes drive.
