Raising funds for Prop 8

JP posted a great idea, and I'm pimping it here.

If we're going to keep fighting for equality, we'll need to raise more funds. JP suggests gathering at someone's house for a potluck dinner, and donating the money we would've spent dining-out towards the cause.

That's a nice concept - I'm intrigued...except who would the money go to? Is there a "No on 8" campaign anymore, now that the election is over?

The funds will go to Equality California. They have a donation form to help overturn Prop 8 (it's not linked directly from the website just yet)

A good point.

I would humbly propose considering this group instead, who appear to be more reflective of the post Prop 8 campaign happenings. It looks like no one in the "Courage Campaign" had anything to do with the No on 8 campaign...

Thanks for the pimping. Mikey!

Not that I would argue or complain if Henry made any of his most fabulous desserts ;-)

I will bring ice, chips, napkins, and cups as needed :)

What is a "potluck dinner"?

[sluggobear]

It's a dinner where everyone brings something :-)
