Saturday after the Day of Decision!

1:00pm | Steps of Fresno City Hall (2600 Fresno St, Fresno)

We are working to galvanize a movement and knit a community that cries for FULL Access, Equality & Justice 4 ALL. As a movement, we will not have a better stage, a better moment in time, as the WORLD waits and watches for our reaction. On the FIRST Saturday AFTER the Prop 8 verdicts are announced, we are going to converge from each section of this state and neighboring states, to demonstrate our community’s statewide mobilization for FULL equality, in the epicenter of middle America values, for US, and for all our LGBT family, across this great Nation, that are discriminated against - daily. Referring to the sentiments of Harvey Milk, this is an example of a larger movement. We hope you’ll Meet in the Middle and see these efforts for yourself – in FRESNO.
