Project OUT-Reach – a project where we are going into the areas around San Diego County where we lost Prop 8 looking for new supporters while educating the community about what's happening around the issue of marriage equality and getting them involved in the next steps towards equality. Even by starting right now, we have less than two years to change the hearts and minds of 250,000 + 1 Californians by using earned media, demonstrations, public outreach and education. To be successful we cannot just organize in areas that are supportive. We must also reach out to communities that have not traditionally been our allies in this fight to bridge the gap in understanding. We will have conversations with people, both at their doors and in busy public spaces to raise consciousness about the issue as well as funds for the cause. We will keep our community energized and engaged as activists, fighting to win back our fundamental right to marry.

We know that we have hundreds of thousands of minds to change to build more support for marriage for same-sex couples. To change the hearts and minds of our neighbors here in San Diego, we're going door-to-door talking with people about their stance on marriage. About 20% of the people we talk to become more supportive of marriage for same-sex couples, especially after we share personal stories with them of real people that were hurt by Prop 8. We just need more people to join our canvassing team to share more stories! Join us at 2pm for a great training to prepare you to have great, persuasive conversations, get paired up with a buddy, and come back for some dinner! Help us change the hearts and minds of our neighbors before the opposition closes their minds.

Wills, Advance Directives and Beneficiary Issues
November 5, 6-7 pm at The Center
Although issues such as wills, advance directives and beneficiary matters are important at any age, there are particular legal and financial documents that become progressively more important to address as we grow older. The LGBT community must be proactive in determining which of their loved ones have the power to make medical decisions, legal authority over financial matters and primary care providers. Equally important are addressing decisions regarding your loved ones and how they will be provided for in the event of your death. Danielle Barger/The Law Office of Danielle P. Barger, APC, Tracy Webster/Webster Insurance Agency and Kelly Nilsson/MetLife will be speaking on these important topics and how you and your family can protect yourselves.
