Shadows and light

Published September 13th, 2006 in Mostly a picture.

My sister sent me a link to this article, “Slow Road to Grieving,” published in the San Francisco Chronicle five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001. About it she said, “Somewhat hard to read, but good.”

    Prop 8 / The LGBTQ civil equality fight

    I've archived LD stuff at a No on 8 page. These days, to my mind, Join the Impact is the best place to find out about ongoing coordinated citizen participant campaigns, detailed below.



    • In the next three months:



    • Ongoing: Project Postcard. Let Obama's administration know your concerns for LGBTQ civil equality

    • Nov 24 - Jan 18: Marriage Equality USA town hall forums & post-election debriefings (CA, FL, & NY).

    • Nov 28 - Dec 20: National LGBTQ Food Drive.

    • Dec 5-7: Milk Movement. Help the Harvey Milk biopic open to a strong release.

    • Dec 10: Day Without a Gay. Economic boycott. LGBTQ community contributes $700 billion/yr to the US economy. For one day, let's us (and our allies) withhold it, and instead do visible service work.

    • Dec 20: Light Up the Night for Equal Rights. Candlelight vigil for visiblity.

    • Jan 10: National Protest Against DOMA.

    • Feb 12: Freedom to Marry Day, nationwide.
    • Feb 16: Love and Marriage Rally, Sacramento, CA.
    • Feb 17: Marriage Lobby Day, Sacramento, CA.
