Friday, March 05, 2004

it has been a long week of struggle.. and the conservative law makers are mustering legal moat about their precious domain. there has been arrests, threats of arrest (on gavin newsom).. and more arrests... civil disobedience is on the rise, in city after city, folks are showing up at city halls demanding to be married.. another front opened up in Oregon, and Massachusetts and New York are hedging-..

this is just the beginning. where one side has money and power, be must us tactics of civil disobedience, be moving targets, be organized, who willing do what it take.

*organize phone and email communication centers...

* keep other groups informed, so information can spread fast.. we need to organize...

*call your government representatives, from local to national, press for change.. call daily, send email.. organize a mail campaign...

* spread the word when votes are taking place, take action, make calls.

*create allies, other civic groups that will join in the struggle...call them just for there support.

*call the clergy.. they can only tell you to go to hell, or yes, well will help...

*write letters to the editor... send out press releases...

*donate money to legal organize and other putting up a propaganda fronts

it will be very easy to loose sight, get worn down, or get caught-up on who's on first, but this will be a long drawn out struggle. we can not settle for second class citizenry...

from before the imprisonment of oscar wilde, abuse, murder, criminalizing of queers through most of the 20th century we fought back, forming coalitions, organizations and action committees, but we have lost sight, now its time to rise up again, and keep our collective eye on the goal, on not give in...

show you colors...
rise the rainbow flag...
do something anything

use the weekend to create strategies, alliance and get ready for another week..

we need everyones assistance with this... I ask everyone who receives this, to take action somehow, today!!!!!
