How I did it: I protested against Prop 8. It was one of the best things I've ever done. Admitting my sexuallity has been hard, but this made it a lot easier.

How I did it: First, we looked up lists of protests against Prop 8. There had been protests at the Capitol building since it passed, every day, but the largest one had many locations - 3000 in California alone, many more in the whole country and world. This protest took place on November 15th, and since it was a Saturday, we went. Read how I did it…

Equal rights. I live in California, where Proposition 8 recently passed. Today was a national day of protest against it, and I went to the one being held locally. It was a pretty good turnout. Nowhere near what Los Angeles probably got, but good nonetheless.

So, they’re mostly small scale, but pretty cool nonetheless. First of all, our part-time faculty went on strike last term, so there were several rallies in support of them. My choir, the Radical Choir of Waterloo Region, sang some songs. It was pretty great.

I participated in the Pro-Life March in Washington D.C.
It was a beautiful thing to be a part of, so peaceful. And my day ended with the spurting of a gorgeous rainbow. I’ll have to post pictures sometime.

I happened to be in DC on the day of a peace rally, so my best friend and I joined, spur of the moment, and walked to the Capitol with a gazillion other people (well it seemed that way… ) holding up peace signs and it was wonderful and I loved it :-)
