Getting organized in Silicon Valley
Well, we finally have a name and a website for our new activism group that has been meeting at the Billy DeFrank Center. We are called Marriage Equality Silicon Valley. There is not too much on our website yet (essentially, the same stuff that was in my last post), but the webmaster for the site I have been very busy learning new code, and it's a little overwhelming right now. But I'll get my act together soon, and we as a group will decide what content to put on there. In any case, it's exciting just to be at this point; having the website gives us more legitimacy.

Candlelight Vigil Dec. 20
Candlelight Vigil
Have you seen the "Milk" film yet?
Hopefuly you did not see it at CinéArts at Santana Row.
Why? Because CinéArts is owned by people who gave a LOT of money to the Yes on 8 campaign.
In response, we would like to invite you to a candlelight vigil at CinéArts on Saturday, Dec 20, starting at 5 PM. We encourage you to join us not only with a candle with a little dixie cup on the bottom to catch the wax, but bring some cash. We will provide very bright stickers to wear so we can be seen all over Santana Row. We can then go into the myriad of stores in that area and spend some money. A BUYCOTT! Doesn't have to be much, you can buy something for $1.50. The shoppers and store employees will see LGBT dollars. We will be shopping for a purpose!
Let us carry on Harvey Milk's legacy. We will be out, visible and speaking in terms people understand, money.
I look forward to seeing all of you there, candle in hand and committed to equality.
