DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday, March 24th, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender/queer activists 
 and allies will kick off their March to Sacramento.\n\nThe Raging Grannies 
 will start of the event with a Repeal Prop 8 singing performance, then the 
 event will begin with a press conference at San Francisco City Hall.  The 
 week-long March from San Francisco to Sacramento is demanding the repeal of 
 proposition 8 and also creating an opportunity for LGBT rights organizers 
 to meet with local communities and forge new alliances.\n\n"Our goal is to 
 build bridges between the marriage equality movement and other movements 
 for social justice," said Kelly Hart Rivera, who has done most of the 
 organizing for the broad-based press conference.  "This is a chance for 
 local leaders from a wide range of movements to show their support for 
 equal rights for all."\n\nSpeakers at the press conference will include SF 
 City Treasurer Jose Cisneros and Supervisor Bevan Dufty, along with John 
 Lewis and Stuart Gaffney, plaintiffs in the court battles before the 
 Supreme Court, Andrea Shorter of And Marriage 4 All, Rafael Mandelman of 
 the Harvey Milk Democratic Club and Paulie Schreck of COLAGE, and AIDS 
 activist Cleve Jones. Then the Brass Liberation Orchestra will play as 
 speakers and attendees kick off the March to Sacramento with a symbolic 
 walk from City Hall to the steps of the CA Supreme Court on 
 McAllister.\n\nOn Wednesday, March 25, the marchers will head to Berkeley 
 to begin their 5-day walk to the state capital in Sacramento.  Along the 
 way, they will meet with local communities to share stories and to learn 
 about their struggles for social and economic justice. Plans for the walk 
 include volunteer work in the Delta town of Isleton, and a meeting with 
 faith leaders in Walnut Creek.\n
