Title: "Clean Up Your Act" protest
Date: Wednesday March 12, 2008
Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Location: Chronicle Building, 5th & Mission San Francisco
Phone: 415.302.3655 Arthur Cirbin
The recently formed MRSA Action Group is going to be doing a non-violent one-hour legal picket at the Chronicle building at Weds, march 12, noon, to present our "white paper" about what was wrong with their January story on MRSA as a "gay plague." Some of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will be joining us.
This will be a light-hearted, non-civil disobedience action (i.e. no arrests; the police know we will be there) but will make clear that the community was very angry about the errors in the story and how it promulgated homophobia. (A protest at UCSF likely will be happening later in the month, depending on group preferences.) We will demand a meeting with the Chron editorial board.
Cindi Creager of GLAAD will be joining us at that meeting, we hope.
Any concerned citizen who'd like to attend the protest can either just show up, or, if they have questions, can come to the next MRSA Action Group meeting at StopAIDS 2128 15th Street on Monday (3/11) at 7.30pm.
Bring a dish pan, soap & water, a scrub brush, rubber gloves, and an attitude.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will be attending to provide the necessary blessings, and prayers to cleanse what soap and water cannot.
