DESCRIPTION:Brunch At HRC's Castro Store: Queer 99% to Protest the LGBT 1% \n\nQueer 
 social justice advocates will converge on the Human Rights Campaign's 
 souvenir store on Castro Street in San Francisco on Saturday, Jan. 31, at 
 noon in solidarity with ACT UP/New York's protest on the same date outside 
 HRC's gala at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan.\n\nThe Bay Area 
 advocates are upset with HRC for the following reasons:\n\n- No concern for 
 needs of poor and low income LGBT people\n\n- No agenda promoting 
 construction of affordable housing, a living wage and access to higher 
 education\n\n- No action response to the national outcry against police 
 killing Black, Brown & Transgender people.\n\n- No global gay plan that 
 respects the work of local LGBT folks and group's working on international 
 issues\n\n- No incorporation of progressive and economic justice concerns 
 in HRC's Corporate Equality Index\n\nACT UP/New York is calling on HRC to 
 address HIV related matters including workplace discrimination and 
 preventing new infections. \n\nIn San Francisco, activists will be at HRC's 
 store at 575 Castro Street on Jan. 31 from noon till 1:00 pm. Light brunch 
 nibbles will be available.\n\nThere will be a speak out at Harvey Milk's 
 old camera shop from the queer 99% about social and economic justice, with 
 a special focus on fully embracing the Black Lives Matter 
 movement.\n\nAmong the endorsers and organizers of the West Coast action 
 are Veronika Fimbres, African-American trans leader; Tommi Avicolli Mecca, 
 housing rights advocate; Melanie Nathan, global LGBT organizer; and Michael 
 Petrelis, HIV positive activist.\n\nPlease join us!\n
