ORGANIZING MEETING: MOBILIZE FOR NATIONAL MARCH FOR LGBT EQUALITY — the weekend of October 10-11 will see a national march in Washington for LGBT Equality. Austin must show up in force!
Help organize buses from Austin and help us bring others on board! We need everyone who wants to support this march to be at the meeting to plan our part of it. This will be the march of a lifetime. It has real potential to push the Obama Administration to abide by its promises. From Cleve Jones: “…Across the country, a new generation of LGBT leaders is rising up, learning how to organize, speak out and fight back. These young activists reject compromise and delay, ‘the tranquilizing drug of gradualism,’ described so aptly by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. They are demanding nothing less than full equality under the law for LGBT people in all fifty states… We are on the verge of a new chapter in the history of our country and our movement. There is a bold new spirit and a powerful new resolve within our communities. Now is the time. We are equal.”
