Protest at SF Pride's Canceled Non-Board Meeting where the Public Has Been Un-invited to Comment!

Queer Strike, 13 May 2013

The SF Pride board has continually refused not to enter dialogue with the community and has attempted to silence all dissent by declaring this issue off the table for this Pride year. Because Pride was originally founded upon dissent and is supposed to represent the community and it's diversity, we will be holding a protest and a SF Pride meeting ourselves with a “Mock Pride Board Meeting” in which a motion to reinstate Bradley Manning will be presented. We have thus scheduled this meeting for Tuesday May 14th at 6:00pm at Market St & Pearl St, in which military veterans, LGBT activists and their straight allies will be protesting outside the organization’s offices. Public comment will be encouraged and not limited to 60 seconds. See you there!

People are encouraged to then proceed to The LGBT Community Center across the street and participate in the Harvey Milk Democratic Club’s PAC forum on Pride and Manning at 7pm.

From Sunday's Statement from SF Pride: "SF Pride's decision concerning the election process of Bradley Manning as Grand Marshal being consistent with SF Pride's long standing Grand Marshal election policy is firm. Thus, the discussion of that matter is closed for this year."

COME SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR LGBTQ WHISTLEBLOWER BRADLEY MANNING BEING REINSTATED AS A SF PRIDE PARADE GRAND MARSHAL!
