Please tell me if I’ve left out a neighborhood. It’s a long list, but this blog has gotten over 4,000 hits in less than 48 hours. There are people here living in every single neighborhood and around the Bay Area, so if you can print a few fliers and commit to putting them up, leave a comment with your email and neighborhood. Not everyone has access to a printer, so if you’d like to distribute fliers to other people to put up, leave a comment with your email and neighborhood so people in your area can get in touch. To kick things off, led is willing to flier in Inner Sunset (hang on until we can get some Chinese fliers up, though) but needs fliers. Someone want to help out?

For any furture night-time events, bring flashlights for safety and to shine at the news helicopters overhead. It will look really cool and gain us even more media favor if we acknowledge them.
Also bring megaphones, whistles, drums etc. to make as much noise as possible.
Remember to not “bunch up”. Spread out so our numbers can be seen!
November 10, 2008 at 8:59 AM
I’ll be putting some up all over the Haight/Ashbury, I can cover the Panhandle and Ashbury Heights too.
November 10, 2008 at 1:53 PM
I’ll poster Bernal Heights. I’ll do some of the Mission as well – could use a Spanish version of poster. I can also print posters for others.
November 10, 2008 at 3:02 PM
I’ll be printing fliers after work today and putting them up in Laurel Heights and the Inner Richmond (up and down Clement and California). I’m going to do my best (time permitting) to put some up on the USF campus as well and I plan on going to bars and clubs friday to hand them out to clubers. I passed on the fliers to the LGBTQ Caucus at USF too and requested that they get our information out in any way they can.
November 10, 2008 at 5:11 PM
I will post fliers tonight (11/10) around my neighborhood… the tenderloin!
November 10, 2008 at 5:13 PM
Glen Park is another neighborhood – we will put up some there as well.
November 10, 2008 at 5:16 PM
I’ll get some up in Hayes Valley!
November 10, 2008 at 5:56 PM
And I can get some up in SOMA, too.
November 10, 2008 at 7:04 PM
Bernal Heights -I’ll get some up.
November 10, 2008 at 9:32 PM
Don’t forget the East Bay! How about postering in Alameda, Oaklands, and Berkeley?
November 10, 2008 at 10:29 PM
I’ll help in Nopa and the Panhandle!
November 10, 2008 at 10:33 PM
I’m at Fillmore/Grove and can put up fliers throughout a ~5block radius – not sure what neighborhood that counts as: The Fillmore/Hayes Valley/Alamo Square/Western Addition?
I can also print fliers for others. Email me if you need them.
November 10, 2008 at 10:36 PM
I can post in the Presidio on my street, MacArthur Ave as well as Portola, but there are lots of other areas in the Presidio where it would be great it anyone else could post…
November 10, 2008 at 11:14 PM
Ryan, I was also planning to post/pass out fliers around Inner Richmond and the USF campus… maybe we can split the job? Or if I see that you’ve already covered the area when I go around, I’ll look for other places. If anyone else lives in the neighborhood and wants to help, feel free to contact me: slgonzales@usfca.edu
November 10, 2008 at 11:45 PM
Hey, I’ll be covering 3 cities in the South Bay (San Jose, Santa Clara, and Milpitas).
November 11, 2008 at 12:31 AM
CCSF isn’t included in the college list, we could definitely use some there.
November 11, 2008 at 12:34 AM
WHY are you protesting at City Hall. No one connected with it is a part of the problem. But SF Archbishop Niederauer was THE RINGLEADER of the American Taliban opposition. From today’s SF Chron:
“Months before the first ads would run on Proposition 8, San Francisco Catholic Archbishop George Niederauer reached out to a group he knew well, Mormons.
Niederauer had made critical inroads into improving Catholic-Mormon relations while he was Bishop of Salt Lake City for 11 years. And now he asked them for help on Prop. 8, the ballot measure that sought to ban same-sex marriages in California.
The June letter from Niederauer drew in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and proved to be a critical move in building a multi-religious coalition – the backbone of the fundraising, organizing and voting support for the successful ballot measure. By bringing together Mormons and Catholics, Niederauer would align the two most powerful religious institutions in the Prop. 8 battle. ……….”

The address below is where you SHOULD be having your protest. Otherwise it’s little more than a massive circle jerk.
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco
One Peter Yorke Way
San Francisco, CA 94109

Leland, I agree that the powers that be at SF City Hall have been great allies and leaders in the GLBTQI rights movement. This protest isn’t about blaming them, it’s about coming together as a community. We’re holding the rally at City Hall because
(a) it’s the center of civic life/power in SF and organizing there has immense symbolic value. It shows that GLBTQI people are active citizens engaged in their communities, there are a lot of us, and we will support legislators and politicians that support us.
(b) on a more pedestrian note, it’s a huge open plaza and flat, so it’s easier for handicapped access and holding a big gathering.
November 11, 2008 at 1:23 AM
Please let me know what I can do to help.
I live in Marin, but have easy access to San Francisco.
November 11, 2008 at 1:40 AM
For anyone who’s in the South Bay, there will be a rally in San Jose on Nov. 15 as part of the Join the Impact rallies happening all over the country.
If you live closer to San Jose than to San Francisco, please come to SJ City Hall, 200 E. Santa Clara Street, at 10:30 a.m.
November 11, 2008 at 2:21 AM
I can cover parts of Pacific Heights, because I go to school at Broadway/Fillmore. I might be able to put some up at Polk Gulch too, but I will be sticking only to Polk Street, cause my parents are not into the tenderloin border. How many posters do you need for that area? Hopefully, I can print a few extra for someone else to post.

I can flyer Cole Valley.
November 11, 2008 at 2:43 AM
Sorry, for the additional message. I just talked to my mom, who owns a printing shop in San Francisco. She agreed to give us discounted rates for flyers. For black and white: 5 cents each (100 for 5 dollars) For color: 35 cents each. The shop is located at 1410 Franklin Street (between Sutter and Fern), 94109. Phone Number: (415) 928-7865 Email: ep1410@sbcglobal.net
November 11, 2008 at 3:37 AM
I will be putting up fliers at San Francisco State and in the Fillmore. Is there anyway to email one of those fliers? I’d like to email everyone in my address book.
November 11, 2008 at 3:52 AM
I’ve been getting everywhere from El Cerrito to Oakland for flyers!
November 11, 2008 at 4:18 AM
I’ll get a few fliers out in Belmont and San Mateo (North Peninsula).
November 11, 2008 at 5:12 AM
I can print/post fliers around SF State this week.
November 11, 2008 at 5:30 AM
I’m tottally down for bayview
November 11, 2008 at 6:16 AM
It’s sad to see you all who preach “tolerance” being so intolerant of others. The message I’m getting here is that it’s OK to be intolerant of Catholics or Mormons. There seems to be a major double standard here.
November 11, 2008 at 7:18 AM
To Leland and All: it’s not OK to be intolerant of Catholics or Mormons as a general group. However, when specific Catholics and specific Mormons organize to take away the civil rights of a minority and legislate discrimination against them, it is perfectly OK and moreover, necessary, to exercise our own freedom of speech and fight that.
November 11, 2008 at 7:39 AM
I will get CCSF and Daly City! and the CCSF area.
November 11, 2008 at 9:12 AM
@To Leland and All: when people take away Catholics’ rights to celebrate the Eucharist or Mormons’ to hold temple sealings, I’ll be the first at the protest. Until then, stop whining. Catholics and Mormons in California have all the rights they had on the morning of November 4th. Gay people don’t; Catholics and Mormons were instrumental in taking those rights from them, and I’m certain you’d be raising hell if gay people took rights away from you. If you believe in equal rights under the laws, come to the protest, and if you don’t, get the hell out of my state. We don’t need your kind–that is to say, bigots–here.
November 11, 2008 at 10:13 AM
I can go to Dolores and hand out/post flyers tomorrow afternoon.
November 11, 2008 at 10:15 AM
ooo yea, and i go to the Academy of Art University. I’ll have to get approval to post in the school, but I definitely can hand them out.
November 11, 2008 at 2:30 PM
Hi folks! I can cover Outer Richmond, mostly Ocean Beach including the transit terminal.
stay well
jeff
November 11, 2008 at 4:45 PM
i’ll put some up around soma as well.
November 11, 2008 at 5:16 PM
I can post in the Outer Sunset Area, around the Java Beach at Judah, around Lincoln and along the Great Highway.
November 11, 2008 at 5:24 PM
[...] Fliers: We need to get fliers up and out, which is where everyone with access to a printer and a stapler or tape come in: print the fliers and put them up at your community centers, dorms, apartment buildings, coffee shops, stores, libraries, and any place where you see a bulletin board. Please be respectful of private property. Print some fliers, put them in your bag in the morning, and stick them up as you go about your day. This is a (non-comprehensive) list of the areas that need to be fliered. [...]
November 11, 2008 at 5:35 PM
I will put flyers up in Forest Knolls (the neighbour on Mount Sutro).
November 11, 2008 at 6:03 PM
I can do the FiDi tomorrow
November 11, 2008 at 6:17 PM

November 11, 2008 at 7:39 PM
Haven’t seen anything for Redwood City; I’ll flier the downtown. Would love it if someone could let me know if anything is planned for RWC, though. Our community down here really needs the visibility and voice!
November 12, 2008 at 12:32 AM
I included an ad for the rally in Synapse, the UCSF newspaper which hits stands on, I think, all campuses on Thursday, 11/13.

Hey all, I can put up fliers around my Lower Nob Hill neighborhood, and also if anyone wants help at SF State just let me know.
November 12, 2008 at 3:37 PM
Paul here from Chicago.
Thanks for the brilliant posters in Spanish and Chinese.
However, is there any way someone can produce a Polish version? And secondarily, a Russian version? Those are two crucial populations in Chicago.
Thanks so much, Paul
November 12, 2008 at 4:26 PM
Jennifer, do you consider Sunnyside part of Glen Park? If not, I’ll throw some up.
November 12, 2008 at 4:42 PM
I work in Alameda so can flyer there. Is there anything happening Alameda protest wise? Also my partner will flyer CCSF!
November 12, 2008 at 6:30 PM
i’ve got the western addition covered! thanks!
November 13, 2008 at 12:56 AM
A big word of thanks to the guys at Clubcard for donating such nicely produced graphics. I got some up along Valencia, and should have taken a lot more. Also got graphics and links up on my personal website, which gets 100s of visits a day, and I urge others to do likewise.
November 13, 2008 at 2:00 AM
I live in the Mission so the easiest for me is to help out with fliers around the Mission/Valencia and Castro areas.
I can also put some at the Academy of Art and other random places I might come across.
November 13, 2008 at 9:45 PM
The Q@CIIS group has been publicizing this widely at California Institute of Integral Studies, and will being a contingent to the protest.
November 14, 2008 at 4:13 AM
I spent all afternoon postering the N Judah MUNI line between 9th & Irving and Embarcadero. Hit every station except Duboce park and Church (everyone in those neighborhoods already knows the scoop anyhow.)
Need help tomorrow with the J church, L taraval, and other lines. Overall public reaction was very positive.
I have a PDF of a flyer to print out:

I’ll post some fliers near the inner sunset and GG Park Area near the DeYoung.
November 14, 2008 at 11:21 PM
I plan on photographing the event along with the event at the S.F. Chronicle. Please let me know if any of the photographs I take can help you with this cause.
Thanks
