LOS ANGELES
Capitol West Steps: 7pm-10pm
Gather at Sunset Junction in Silver Lake, Corner of Sunset Blvd. and Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles. Our reader Phillip Thomas writes: “There’s a little event planned on Saturday afternoon. By little, I mean people are flying, driving, coming by bus and train for this. I heard on tv this evening that organizers are estimating 20,000 marchers for this. I think everyone needs to take part in this. Even if just for an hour or so. Numbers matter, and I can’t think of anything that would be more memorable, historical, or significant that doing this on one Saturday evening. Forget the dinner, the mall, the bar, the movie, the relaxing night at home. If you have to work, call in or leave early. Add yourself to this crowd. Invite all of your friends, your coworkers, neighbors. Make a party out of it.”
Candlelight Vigil at the Town Clock
On Saturday, November 8, we will be holding a candlelight vigil at 7:00 at the Town Clock in Santa Cruz to stand together, acknowledge our loss, and comfort one another.
At 7:30, Rev. David Grishaw-Jones will lead those who can make the walk up the hill in a candlelight procession to the First Congregational Church of Santa Cruz on High Street.
At 8:00, faith communities around Santa Cruz will come together in an interfaith gathering to recommit ourselves to marriage equality and human rights at the First Congregational Church, 900 High St., Santa Cruz.
