Anchorage Fight the H8 Protest, Nov. 15

Submitted by on Thursday, 13 November 2008 – 1:58 PM11 Comments
UPDATE: The organizers called the protest for NOON, and sent the press release to the media. We are not the only city holding the protest at a different time. But if you feel passionate about being there at 9:30 or cannot join us at noon, then go and make your voice be heard, more power to you! (and send the photos to Bent Alaska.) Thank you.
On Saturday November 15th, people in cities all around the U.S. are coming together to take a stand for equality. To date, more than 250,000 have made the pledge to take part in this national protest. Join the movement! For more information visit http://jointheimpact.com/
The Anchorage Protest
We are protesting in front of the Atwood Building, 550 W 7th Ave. between E and F Streets. Please bring a sign and DRESS WARM. Spread the word!
We are protesting for EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL, and this is a peaceful protest. Sign ideas here: http://jointheimpact.wetpaint.com/page/Protest+Signs
TIME??
If we follow the national movement and hold our protest to coincide with all the others, we would hold it at 9:30 a.m. in Alaska. However, the last time we held a protest early on a Saturday morning, people said the same thing but did not show up early! Many showed up around noon, after the early group left. So this time, maybe we should do what works here and call it for noon, or compromise on 11 a.m., despite the national timing. 
What time will you commit to showing up?
