First in a series of postings about the city of San Jose's participation in a National Day of Action for LBGTQI equality. Nationally the theme was reminding Obama of his campaign promises to our community. Locally we added additional emphasis on the elimination of hate crimes against LGBTQI persons, making our rally a fundraiser for the recent victim of a brutal hate crime in Richmond, CA, and calling on Obama to enact the Matthew Shephard Act.

We raised nearly $500.00 in one afternoon of spirited entertainment and spoken word.
