Organizing Meeting: Fight for Gay Rights
Monday, December 1st - 8 pm
Antidote Coffee (729 Studewood, 77007)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
November 15th was a historic day in the struggle for gay rights. Hundreds of thousands of people in hundreds of towns and cities across America came out to protest the passage of anti-gay ballot initiatives in California, Arizona, and Florida and raise their voices for same-sex marriage rights. On Wednesday, December 10th, we have another opportunity to make our voices heard: Day Without a Gay (http://www.daywithoutagay.org/).
There are a lot of people in Houston that are planning to participate in this. We want to see what the possibilities are for having a collective action the evening of December 10th. This would allow people that participated to come together to amplify our voices, as well as allow those who can't take the day off to participate and have their voices heard.
We're meeting up on Monday, December 1st to brainstorm ideas about mobilizing. We'll be meeting at Antidote Coffee (729 Studewood, 77007*) at 8 pm. Everyone is welcome. We want to hear broad ideas about how we can push things forward and make our voices heard.

*A note on Antidote Coffee: Antidote can be tricky to find. Coming from Montrose/South, it is on your left, after the White Oak intersection. The easiest way to find it is to look for the big yellow "SAVE FOOD STORE" sign for the convenience store next to it.
