Upcoming Events
All of these rallies are grassroots and local leaders from many organizations are helping to make sure they're lawful and positive.
Remember our goal is peaceful protest – do not be swayed by the “yes” people to engage with them – That is when emotions escalate – we are making our position visible to the masses with each rally.

Harvey Milk Day Organizational Meeting
- Thursday, March 11, 2010 • 6pm
- Location:
- Hamburger Patties, Back Room • 1630 J Street
This is an informational notice: First, the leadership of Equality Action Now, a Sacramento grassroots, all volunteer civil rights organization held their first organizational meeting Thursday February 3, 2010 at Hamburger Patties in Midtown with volunteers concerning the hosting of Harvey Milk Day – Sacramento, Saturday May 22, 2010.
Committees were formed and discussions about how to hold an event that will be both historical, but highly controversial. Harvey Milk Day is supposed to be an educational event where school-aged children and teens have the opportunity to learn about an important person in the LGBTQI (Lesbian, Gay, Bu, Transsexual, Questioning, Intersex) community. Milk’s life and the things that he stood for including civil rights for all people and respect for each other will be the focus of the event. The fact that he was the first openly gay person elected to any office is an important fact but how he chose to represent his district in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco is the main reason why he had a day named after him.
Our next organizational meeting will be March 11th. I should have more information about the day’s events to report by then.
