Namaste
My Spirit Brothers and Sisters,
Our
organization, "We Are All Related" Foundation, is the state leader and contact
point for the "7 Straight Nights for Equal Rights" which is the coalition of the
Straight community coalition supporting equal rights for the LGBT community.
In
cooperation with Soul Force and Atticus Circle we will be hosting this milestone
and groundbreaking nation-wide event here at the Albuquerque Center for Peace
and Justice, 202 Harvard Drive SE, in October during the
7th-thru-13th.
We
are looking for the Straight members of the community and their LGBT friends,
family members, co-workers and the like to come and volunteer your time during
the all night vigil.
We
are going to need volunteers for the 6 PM--to--6 AM vigils on Tues, 9 Oct, and
Fri, 12 Oct. Please call and pledge your time for this paramount, civil rights
issue. Stand and be counted in this nation-wide solidarity event.
I
will also be conducting Prayer Pipe Ceremony for this event and anyone present
can join me during these two nights.
Please
dress warmly, bring PLENTY of candles with you for the vigil, bring chairs--and
above all else have fun connecting and networking--SPREAD THE WORD OF THIS
EVENT!!!
The
equal rights initiatives for the LGBTs is a civil rights issue--the same as the
issues that were hard fought for in the 60's and 70's for Black Americans–so
again we are asked, "Who is going to stand-on-the-line and be counted today?!"
Martin Luther King said it best in 1967 during his speech, "The Trumpet of
Conscience", "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies; but the
silence of our friends."
We
will look forward to seeing you all there. Please
contact us to pledge your time. Our e-mail address at – orionsgate@comcast.net – or by phone
at 505-286-7641, ask
for Robert 'Standing Eagle' Marshall or Liz 'Eaglewoman' Cyr.
