The big court case. The nail-biting vote. The politician taking a stand. The truth is that as important as those are, the real road to victory was paved with the unsung, everyday deeds of hundreds of thousands of brave, ordinary individuals. Grandparents. Siblings. Friends. Coworkers. Neighbors. Those who created the conditions that enabled millions of honest conversations to take root around family breakfast tables nationwide, breaking the silence on the unmentionable. These individuals, many who found training, support and a home for their activism in Marriage Equality USA (MEUSA), were the back- bone of changing the hearts and minds of a nation that had told them their love, commitment, and families were not good enough to be recognized. I was fortunate enough to have seen first hand a few of the stories and events recounted in The People’s Victory. From the marriages we performed at City Hall during 2004’s “Winter of Love,” to watching the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, these events reminded me how profoundly LGBTQ people deserved the right to marry the person they loved. Throughout those years, the grassroots volunteers in MEUSA and elsewhere showed us that no change worth its salt happens on its own. It takes organi - zation and working slowly, one person at a time, to build momentum and a critical mass for change. The grassroots movement’s success was in listening, teaching, and trusting individuals and local communities to do what was right for them. They faced defeat and loss head on, learning it was often two steps forward and one step (or even two or three) back before success was achieved. The People’s Victory is a mirror for each of us to see our own power to fight for justice and create the change we want to see in our world. Marriage equality was the vehicle for these authors – but what will yours be? I hope these stories inspire you to resist, to fight, to win, and in the end write the next stories in our continuing push for a more just and perfect union. 10 Introduction – brian silva The story of marriage equality is the story of you. In creating The People’s Victory, we wanted to show the world the power of everyday individuals to bring about monumental change. The blockbuster and headline grabbing moments have (rightfully) been covered in books, televi- sion, and even film. But as a grassroots organization, Marriage Equality USA (MEUSA) has always believed this fight for hearts and minds was something only achievable when everyday people not only believed they had the power to make change, but acted on it. In fact, millions of you did. Some, like Edie Windsor, took a small action at a Marriage Equality New York (MENY) meeting that eventually helped lead her to become a household name with a winning case at the United States Supreme Court. Others, like Leslie Stewart, balanced out a local news story by being the only pro-mar- riage sign at an opposition event. At the heart of these, and all of the stories contained in this book, is that each author made the choice to act! Taking action is the crucial part of any social justice movement. We can no longer assume or hope others will stand up and act for what is right; we have to be those people. While the vehicle for this social justice journey was marriage equality, our vision for this book is for readers to find inspiration, power, and the will to work for whatever social justice issue they are passionate about: from women’s rights and the environment, to racial and economic justice. The fight to be treated equally in marriage cannot end at the altar or county clerk’s office. Those forces seeking to deny same-sex couples equal marriage rights for so long are the same people, ideologies and resources working against anyone who is pushing our country to be more fair and just. The People’s Victory elevates and honors the everyday heroes of social justice who make the brave decision to no longer sit idly on the sidelines of history.

  • September 20, 2019 Program Design Branch, Program
    September 20, 2019 Program Design Branch, Program Development Division, Food and Nutrition Service United States Department of Agriculture 3101 Park Center Dr., Alexandria, VA 22302 Re: Notice of Proposed Rule Making -- Revision of Categorical Eligibility in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) RIN 0584-AE62 Dear Program Design Branch: The undersigned lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) and allied organizations urge the USDA to withdraw its proposed rule, Revision of Categorical Eligibility in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). If implemented, the proposed rule would harm millions of low-income Americans, with particularly negative implications for the LGBTQ community. Since 1996, over forty jurisdictions have implemented a process known as “broad-based categorical eligibility” (BBCE), for households receiving some in-kind services funded through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program. While federal requirements restrict SNAP assistance to households with net incomes under 100% of the federal poverty level (FPL), gross incomes under 130% of the FPL, and in many cases liquid assets below $2,250, the BBCE option gives states flexibility to adjust these thresholds.i Most states have opted to eliminate the asset test and increase the gross income limit (up to 200% of the FPL) for SNAP. In this manner, states can: 1) extend SNAP eligibility to families with gross incomes working their way up the economic ladder but still struggling with high costs for basics, and 2) incentivize families to save by loosening restrictions on assets. Congress has consistently upheld BBCE since its inception, most recently during the 2018 Farm Bill.ii The proposed rule would greatly undercut the scope of BBCE, effectively sidestepping Congress’ bipartisan efforts to maintain the option.

    Running head: Willing to be scammed: how self-control impacts Internet scam compliance Willing to be scammed: How self-control impacts Internet scam compliance Submitted by David Modic to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology In September 2012 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 2 WILLING TO BE SCAMMED WILLING TO BE SCAMMED 3 Abstract At any given moment in time, there are people complying with fraudulent requests (i.e. scams) on the Internet. While the incidence rates are low (between five and ten percent of the population becoming victims on a yearly basis), the financial and emotional consequences can be high. In this Thesis we composed a unified theory of which factors made individuals more likely to comply with scams and what psychological mechanisms are unwittingly employed by con-men to make their (illegitimate marketing) offers more enticing. The strongest overall predictor of scam compliance (i.e. the extent to which an individual is likely to comply with fraudulent requests) was the level of self-control, regardless of the observed stage of a scam. On the basis of previous research, we postulated and have empirically shown that falling for a scam is a 3-stage process (i.e.

Love ―Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be — like the reality of yesterday — an illusion tomorrow.‖1 On May 15, 2008, the Supreme Court of California handed down its decision in the much awaited litigation officially known as In re Marriage Cases.2 The case was actually a consolidation of six individual cases, all raising the same issue: Is denial of marriage to same-sex couples valid under the California Constitution? These six cases, as with Pirandello‘s six characters in search of an author, took center stage for a time, not in a real theater, but rather in the evolving drama over extending equal marriage rights to gay men and lesbians.

  • Marches on Washington by Brett Genny Beemyn
    Marches on Washington by Brett Genny Beemyn Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights movement in the United States grew tremendously during the last quarter of the twentieth century, a phenomenon perhaps best demonstrated by the success of the first three national marches held in Washington, D. C. Each march was much larger and more diverse than the previous one, as greater numbers of people became open about their sexual and gender identities and created a wide array of glbtq subcommunities. A less flattering trend was reflected in the fourth march: the increasing corporatization of the movement, with grassroots activists having less of a role in setting its goals and priorities. [However, the most recent march may have reversed this trend. Organized primarily by younger activists energized by the passage of Proposition 8, which nullified marriage equality in California, the emphasis of the October 2009 National Equality March was on grassroots activism.] The 1979 March Marking the tenth anniversary of the Stonewall riots and coming in the wake of the lenient jail sentence given to Dan White for the assassination of openly gay San Francisco city supervisor Harvey Milk, the First National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights on October 14, 1979 was an historic event that drew more than 100,000 people from across the United States and ten other countries. National lesbian and gay groups were initially reluctant to support the 1979 march, fearing that such a public display would not attract many people or, if it did, that it would generate a right-wing backlash similar to Anita Bryant's 1977 "Save Our Children" campaign.

In purple was she rob'd, and of her feast Monarchs partook, and deem'd their dignity increas'd.III In Venice Tasso's echoes are no more, And silent rows the songless gondolier; Her palaces are crumbling to the shore, And music meets not always now the ear: Those days are gone--but Beauty still is here. States fall, arts fade--but Nature doth not die, Nor yet forget how Venice once was dear, The pleasant place of all festivity, The revel of the earth, the masque of Italy!IV But unto us she hath a spell beyond Her name in story, and her long array Of mighty shadows, whose dim forms despond Above the dogeless city's vanish'd sway; Ours is a trophy which will not decay With

  • The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, First Floor Sacramento, CA 95814
    The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, First Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom: Thank you for your incredible leadership and seeing our state through the COVID-19 crisis. The bold and decisive actions that you have taken have saved lives and established California as an example of how to meet this moment for the rest of the nation. We wish you, your family and your staff health and safety, especially during these trying times. We write to you as leaders of LGBTQ+ and allied nonprofit organizations in urgent need of financial support in order to survive this crisis. The economic fallout from COVID-19 has upended our budgets by forcing us to cancel fundraising events and preventing us from completing reimbursement-based grant deliverables that require face-to-face interaction and outreach. Meanwhile, many of our generous sponsors and donors have been impacted by the crisis themselves and are no longer in a position to support our work financially. Our work on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community — a community disproportionately at risk of the worst medical, financial, employment, and social impacts of COVID-19 — is imperiled by this crisis and the lack of a targeted comprehensive funding response. LGBTQ+ people already experience greater disparities in health and well-being compared to the general public. These disparities include higher rates of HIV and cancer that can lead to compromised immune systems, higher rates of tobacco use and smoking, barriers to healthcare access and — for the more than three million LGBTQ+ elders living in the United States — widespread social isolation and a hesitancy to reach out to health and other care providers.
