All participants are encouraged to wear black. The march will be silent. We will break the silence at the Capitol steps where we will have speakers and a candlelight vigil.

Signs and banners should reflect that:

ALL Families Matter in Arkansas!
Act 1 keeps kids from good homes
Act 1 takes away families rights on decisions for their children
Act 1 defines for ALL Arkansans who a family can be
Act 1 is a direct attack on the lives of LGBTQ Arkansans

A NATIONWIDE Student Protest for Students to Demand Equal Rights For All American Citizens!
Wednesday, December 3, 2008

"We have been asked by many people to come up with another protest against Prop 8. The trick is that we want to keep the protests going, but also want to keep the media coverage as well. If we do the same protest all the time, it won't be news anymore.

Let's stir it up a bit by having all the students walk out of class for a NATIONWIDE protest similar to the ones on 11/15/2008!

This year we saw extremely high turnouts at the polls by young voters. They are politically involved, they want to be heard, and they can definitely make a difference!

Regardless of whether you are in college or high school. Regardless of whether you are straight or gay. Regardless of whether you are black, white, latino, asian, or any other race/nationality. Regardless of your religion or your political status. We ask you to stand up and DEMAND equal rights for all American citizens. On Wednesday December 3rd we strongly suggest that all students throughout the United States walk out of class at 9 am in your own time zone. This will create a ripple effect across the country! When you leave, please leave a note on your desk that says, "SCHOOL TAUGHT ME NOT TO DISCRIMINATE. SAY NO TO PROP 8. SAY YES TO EQUALITY"."
