 LEGISLATION AT AIDS WALK BOSTON THIS WEEKEND

HAVE FUN, HELP DEFEAT DOMA AND PASS DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP LEGISLATION 
AT AIDS WALK BOSTON THIS WEEKEND

With just one or two hours on Sunday morning, you can help us send a 
strong message to legislators about two important bills.

Over 12,000 people are expected to participate in AIDS Walk Boston 
this Sunday, June 3.  Having all these people in one place at one 
time presents us with a great opportunity to collect signatures on 
postcards to legislators.  We need your help to maximize our efforts. 
You can have fun while going through the crowd talking to people 
about pending legislation and collecting signatures on pre-printed 
postcards.

Your task will be easy.  You will meet with other volunteers at 9:00 
AM (on the Beacon Street side of the Arthur Fiedler footbridge), pick 
up a clipboard and postcards, spend 10-15 minutes learning how to 
approach strangers and answer questions, then disperse through the 
crowd to collect signatures.  If you're planning to walk, you can 
even collect signatures along the route.

Please respond to this message if you can help so that we can have 
enough clipboards ready.  Your help will make a big difference.  Just 
think, if only ten people collect only fifty signatures each, we'll 
have 500 postcards to send to legislators.  So, please sign up and 
ask your friends to help too.

Look for an e-mail message next week about helping collect signatures 
at Boston Pride and don't forget our Town Meeting on Wednesday, June 
6.
