Meet in the Middle; Letter Writing Campaign- Take Action!

Join with COLAGE and other LGBTQ and progressive groups to raise visibility of our community the weekend after the California Supreme Court Decision on Proposition 8 is handed down. Those who live on the West Coast are encouraged to MEET IN THE MIDDLE- http://www.meetinthemiddle4equality.com/
Even if you live elsewhere in the world, one of the Meet in the Middle Visibility projects is to collect postcards and letters from LGBTQ families to send to the Obama family. Write a short and simple message introducing your family and talking about why equality for COLAGErs, LGBTQ families and individuals is needed. Include drawings or photos of your family and encouragement for President and Michelle Obama to take a stand against homophobia and transphobia during their time in office.
The lead organizer of Meet in the Middle, a lesbian mother, was thrown out as President of her son’s Parent Teacher Organization because of her unwillingness to be silent about the hateful rhetoric of the “Yes on 8″ campaign. Let’s vow to stand with her, her child and her family, as well as the families that suffer in many similar ways. Use this as an opportunity to give a voice to your family, offer your experiences, have your kids send messages and help us request that Barack and/or Michelle, as parents, speak out against the hate-speech and ballot-bashing that happens, too often, across this great nation.
