I just received a facebook invite on this, and wanted to pass the details of the event on.
December 10th is Human Rights Day.
We are calling for a nationwide strike and economic boycott by all members of our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered community AND OUR STRAIGHT ALLIES on December 10th, 2008, International Human Rights Day.
WHY SHOULD WE DO IT?
Because LGBT workers, business owners, consumers and taxpayers contribute over $700 billion to the American economy and we deserve the same rights as all other Americans.
(See www.witeckcombs.com/news/releases/20080602_buyingpower.pdf)
Because marriage is a basic human right that should be available for ALL Americans, regardless of gender, race OR religion. (See the US Supreme Court Case LOVING v VIRGINIA).
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
Strike: call in gay, shut down your business, or just take the day off.
Boycott: don't buy anything, spend money or support the economy.
Participate: visit www.daywithoutagay.org for a list of volunteer and/or protest opportunities.
