no on prop 8 rally in irvine, ca

Here are some pics from a No On Prop 8 rally that was organized last Saturday, 10.18.08, in Irvine in Orange County. For those of you who aren't too familiar with the area, it is a very conservative city. We got a surprising amount of support from passerbyers, but were also met with some opposition and animosity. I took these with 35mm film so that's why i'm so late on posting them (kept forgetting to get the developed).







^ that's my mom!

you can find the facebook album for this event here.

my entire family (mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law) and i participated in a no on props 4 and 8 rally this past sunday, and provided that they're good once theyre developed, i will also post them.

it's winding down! phone bank, participate in rallies, have conversations with people, and make an informed vote!

k bye!

PLEASE RSVP------->JILL.API.ELA@GMAIL.COM

Calling all API UCLA students! At this phone bank,
we will provide a training on how we will be talking to API voters over the phone.
Then we will be hitting the phone lines! It might sound scary to be calling voters about this issue, but trust me, you get the hang of it after the first role play. We provide a detailed script, talking points, phone lines, and FOOD!

We urgently ask for your help. This phone bank is the most active way you can help defeat Prop 8.
Prop 8 if passed, will eliminate the fundamental right to marry for Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transgendered, Queer folks.
We need to bridge these issues in the API community, and fight for our civil rights!
