No on 8 Rally - Please Come!

Street: Hamilton Ave (@ Almarida)

If possible, RSVP at this Facebook page.

Please join us on Sunday from 2-5pm, for a peaceful No on 8 rally. Last Sunday we had 15 volunteers, and just a few miles away, the Yes on 8 rally had 1,000+, stretching over 1.5 miles. We need your help to show CA voters that we won't stand for discrimination.

Invite your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors!

What to Bring:
- Please bring your own signs. We encourage you to make impactful signs. Last week we had straight and Mormon volunteers, which was awesome!
- We will bring water, but you may want to bring some extra drinks/food.

Sign Ideas:
We encourage you to make whatever sign is most meaningful to you. If you are straight, religious, etc - that definitely can help. Some sign ideas:
- Protect Marriage = No on 8
- Protect Families = No on 8
- Strengthen Families = No on 8
- Freedom of Religion = No on 8
- Mormon/Asian/Evangelical & No on 8
- Straight & Voting No on 8

Directions:
- Take 280 South, then 17 South
- Hamilton Ave exit, go RIGHT onto Hamilton
- Take your first right @ Almarida, and park in the BB & Beyond parking lot
- We will congregate on street corners on Hamilton, in that area. (You'll see us!)
- IF there are Yes on 8 rallies happening there, we may move a block or two down the road. We will make sure it's visible.

*IMPORTANT* - This must, under all circumstances, be a peaceful rally. We will inevitably get people antagonizing us from their cars, or walking on the street. Ignore them. This is an emotional proposition, and tempers can flare quickly. We MUST represent our community (and straight allies) as peaceful and intelligent. Any antagonizing or violence will not be tolerated. The LAST thing we want is an ugly story to come from this cause. Remember – bad behavior from the Yes on 8 supporters just makes their cause look ugly.

More info:
Current polling shows 48% in favor of Prop 8, and 45% against it. Given the margin of error, this is a DEAD HEAT race. There are thousands of anti-gay activists in Utah calling CA voters around the clock, moving undecided voters to their side. We must stop this.

Yes on 8 is running very deceptive ads on TV, making false claims about education, and churches losing tax exempt status. This is all false.

More Ways to Get Involved:
1) Volunteer at your local No on 8 office.
