DESCRIPTION:Day of Decision for Prop 8 on Tuesday, May 26th!  \nCelebrate OR Protest, 
 be ready to be a part of the struggle!\n10am Meet on the steps of City Hall 
 to hear the ruling.\n\nIf the Court overturns Prop 8, we'll have a 
 spontaneous street party to celebrate a victory in the road towards full 
 civil rights. But if they uphold Prop 8, we'll take to the streets with One 
 Struggle, One Fight and participate in an act of civil disobedience with 
 the message SEPARATE IS NOT EQUAL. \nCitywide demonstration at 5pm at City 
 Hall (rally and march to Yerba Buena Gardens)!\n\nAnd join the the ISO the 
 day after for a panel discussion on:\n\n\nSeparate is Not Equal!  \nFrom 
 Defeating Prop 8 to Ending DOMA, Passing ENDA and Beyond\n\nWednesday, May 
 27 @ 7pm\n110 Capp St. (b/t 16th & 17th Streets, near 16th St. BART)\nSan 
 Francisco\n\nSpeakers:\nKip Williams, member of One Struggle, One Fight and 
 activist organizer\nJessica Hansen-Weaver, ISO member and activist in the 
 struggle\n\nOn Tuesday, May 26th, the California Supreme Court will rule 
 either to uphold or strike down Prop 8, the discriminatory and homophobic 
 legislation passed in November 2008.  Whether the court rules on the side 
 of equal rights and strikes down Prop 8 or it stands in bigotry (despite 
 the tide of popular opinion changing in favor of same-sex marriage), what 
 we know for sure is that the fight for gay rights will continue: the 
 Defense of Marriage Act is still on the books, Don't Ask Don't Tell is 
 still the policy in the military and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act 
 (ENDA) has yet to include Transgender people or be passed in congress.  
 Furthermore, if the court stands on the side of bigotry, then activists 
 will rally and bring a ballot proposition to legalize same-sex marriage in 
 2010--because the time is now, not later, to fight for and achieve equal 
 and full civil rights for all.  Come to this panel discussion with 
 activists from the movement who will have first-hand accounts of the 
 struggle and the history, and ideas for next steps.     \n\nAll are 
 welcome.  For more information, email missioniso@yahoo. com.\n\n\nSponsored
