WHEN: 5:00 PM, Friday, October 1, 2004
A coalition of LGBT organizations have come together to plan an October 1 demonstration to raise awareness about racism and other forms of discrimination within the San Francisco LGBT community. The theme is "Speak Out Against Racism And Discrimination, Stand Up For Inclusion." While many have fought for years to create greater inclusion, recently there has been a groundswell of people speaking out. This coalition embraces this moment to help bring about real change and make a claim for greater racial, gender, age, class, and other forms of belonging among San Francisco's LGBT people. The march strives to inspire ongoing action from all in our community-as individuals, workers, business owners, community organizers, and leaders-to make San Francisco a truly welcoming homeland for all LGBT people.
