Dedicating countless hours volunteering for The Trevor Project has been more rewarding and insightful than I could have ever anticipated. Myself (Melissa) and other volunteers within the Central Valley help spread the message of The Trevor Project in various ways. Below is an example of one of the ways you can help contribute.

Please read the flyer below for more information on how to become a Trevor Volunteer. The training usually happens once a year so get in while you can. Dates for training are scheduled for May 18th and 19th.

Phone Banking for Marriage Equality

Written by Gay Fresno
Created: 20 October 2012

 

Gay Fresno is proud to join with Marriage Equality USA (MEUSA) and 50 local and national partners in the Campaign for 20 Million More - a growing coalition working to win the freedom to marry and to defeat anti-equality ballot initiatives in Election 2012.

"The Campaign for 20 Million More is a powerful example of what is best about our community and allies when we all work together towards big goals. I am so thankful to our almost 50 local and national partners for their contributions, and to the many MEUSA volunteers and staff for their work in managing this initiative," said Brian Silva, MEUSA Executive Director.

"Over 20 million Americans will be affected by elections directly involving marriage equality in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington," added Stuart Gaffney, MEUSA Media Director. "Polls nationwide are showing majority support for equal marriage rights, and the Campaign for 20 Million More is now harnessing that tremendous grassroots support in order to win the freedom to marry."

Gay Fresno will join the campaign by co-hosting multiple phone banks for the states this Fall working towards marriage equality for all Americans. In Fresno, join us at Fresno, CA on:

October 23rd 6pm - 8pm at Carrows, 4228 N. Blackstone Avenue. If possible please bring A) wifi-enabled laptop & headphones with/ mic OR B) wifi-enabled iPad and a cell phone.

And

October 30th 6pm - 8pm at Denny's, 30 E. Herndon Avenue. If possible please bring A) wifi-enabled laptop & headphones with/ mic OR B) wifi-enabled iPad and a cell phone.

The 20 Million More Campaign is a coalition effort supporting our marriage equality partners in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington as they face their own state battles this fall, by helping to educate the voters in those states regarding marriage equality. The campaign does this through phone banks organized across the country, and via canvassing weekends in the four election states.

Questions? 559-862 4559

Full details of the campaign can be found at www.20MillionMore.org.

 COMING OUT MONTH!  COMING OUT STORIES

October 11 was Coming Out Day. Many of us attended Coming Out events to celebrate. Many of us attended the same events to educate others who attended out of curiosity or desire to learn. We educated with the truth about the necessity of full equality for all and to make sure the second class citizen label goes away.

We have a panel who will be telling their coming out stories so be sure to attend. Everyone has a story, and all stories are unique.

Family Fest, Visalia’s Pride event, will be happening on Saturday, September 29th from 11-3:00pm at Mooney Grove Park. This is the fourth year of celebrating our community. We will have vendors, local groups and organizations, entertainment, games, raffles and more! As part of our events this year, and if we can find the participants, we will be holding a Karaoke contest. Get up there and show us your stuff! Maybe get your friends together and do a group performance. The winner will walk away with CASH and prizes! Returning this year is the crowd favorite, Waiting to Wed Game. It’s always a riot! Guys, I challenge you to participate. We’ve never had a male couple join in on all the fun. Represent yourselves! We have several guest performances this year, but I'm gonna keep you in suspense a bit longer... A tease? Who? Me? :)

Got kids? They will be entertained as well with the bounce house, games, piñata and craft stations. We will also provide bread to feed the ducks in the huge pond located right beside us. Family Fest has something for everyone! You can bring a picnic or buy food at the celebration, either way, come spend the day with us! There is plenty of shade, a covered arbor with tables and an entire section of the park, just for us! Pets and alcohol are allowed, please be responsible with both.

If you have a special talent you would like to showcase at the event, let us know! Or if you want to sign up for any of the games. Vendor booths are still available. If you are interested or have any questions, contact Brooke@gayvisalia.com.

A special thanks to Gay Central Valley. Their support helps make this event happen. We do have a continual need for donations and/or raffle prizes if you find that you are able to help us. Please contact me and THANK YOU!!

Family Fest really is Pride at its best, see you all in September!
