Moving Forward as a GLBT
Community -- What's Next?
Friends,
We'd like to ask you to join us for a meeting to discuss the next steps for
the GLBT community in Act 1's wake, and how we might be able to strengthen
the GLBT community in Arkansas.
After the loss of Act 1, the adoption ban, some of us are talking about
where we move next as a GLBT community. We hope this will be the start of a
productive dialogue about how we strengthen our collective efforts and we
realize that more voices will need to be engaged as we continue forward. We
recognize that we are very diverse with many different perspectives and
strategies. We don't have all the answers and want to invite you to join us
in thinking about what's next.
What we all DO know is that we need to strengthen our community and work
together more effectively. More challenges are in front of us, and our
challengers are likely more emboldened than ever after Act 1's passage. But
we do see opportunities and possibilities that we'd like your help
exploring.
Together we can move our community and our
state forward. Please join us for a discussion about how. Thanks!
Joe LaFountaine, SDC President
