Day Without a Gay: Riverside Response
The gay marriage protests have run their courses, the town hall meetings are ongoing, and people are looking for the next step. Causecast and Actual Action invite you to participate in RIVERSIDE RESPONSE, to coincide with the “Day without a Gay” on December 10th, 2008. We’ll be coordinating a community service project in Riverside, CA, an area that did not support Proposition 8 and marriage equality. We hope to introduce ourselves through a day of community service, putting faces to the issue at hand. Please check actualaction.org or causecast.org for more details.

Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 March 16, 2003) was an American member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who traveled to the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada. She was killed by a Caterpillar D9R armored bulldozer operated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during a protest against the destruction of Palestinian homes by the IDF in the Gaza Strip. Rachel was an unarmed peace activist trying to prevent the demolition of the home of a Palestinian pharmacist, his wife, and three children. She believed that nonviolent direct action against the Israeli occupation would make Palestinians, and also Israelis and Americans, more secure. Rachel stood there to protect a home and family in Gaza because the United States and Israel rejected a UN proposal to send international human rights monitors there. International activists went instead. Rachel stood there protesting illegal home demolitions that the United States opposes on the record yet fails to stop -- destruction that we support with billions in annual military aid to Israel for bulldozers, Apache helicopters, F-16s, and more.
