Many of us are angry at the loss of marriage equality in Maine. But we have much to be excited about-- big wins in Washington, Kalamazoo, and over 50 LGBTQ leaders elected across the country last night.
And yet, many of us are still angry.
Do not be angry. Get organized. You. Now.
Look online for a rally that is taking place in your area. There is one in Washington DC's Dupont Circle at 5:30PM. There is another in Los Angeles at UCLA at noon. Look on facebook at your local LGBTQ organization's page and see if a rally is being organized-- if not, make an event page and invite your friends! Create a rally at your school, your local LGBTQ Center, your place of worship, wherever you like. You don't need microphones, you just need a voice and have something to say! And then, with your banners, march to the closest major intersection and make others aware of your actions!
Be smart. Keep connected. Take a clipboard and ask for everyone's name, email and phone number so you can keep in touch. When you get home, create a facebook group, and invite all your new friends so you can move forward-- together!
Do not be angry. Get organized. You. Now.
