BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.

EqualityCamp will begin to plan MarriageEquality2.0 so that all Californians and Americans and their families- including the gay people-are equal under the law.  Equality for all. 

14th Amendment: "no state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws". 

Event details

When 

Saturday, January 10, 2009  (Macworld is Jan 5-9, so people can stay an extra day)

 

Note from CB:  Actually think this date is a bad idea. You're not taking into account the Consumer Electronics Show - which is far bigger than Macworld and is in Vegas so even if folks are coming back it will be during the day on the 10th ... Yes we have huge number of Mac-sorts for this but by cutting out potential participants who'd attend a more mainstream show we're also potentially cutting out a large number of people  ... myself included.

 

 

Where 

Citizen Space, #300, 425 - 2nd Street, San Francisco, CA  94107 

Where to stay? 

If you are in from out of town, the closest hotel is the Courtyard Marriott, but there are oodles of places nearby. To support a social justice minded business that supports equality for all with style:  jdvhospitality.com

Sponsors 

Anyone? Anyone? 

This may be hard right now but we can probably line up some in-kind sponsors ... should identify specific categories of needs and then target people for each. 

cupcakes and snacks - citizen cake

wine - CAV (Pamela is a very good friend of mine, I'll talk with her {Cathy Brooks})

 

Not really a sponsor but would suggest we use Seesmic throughout the day as we can bring in commentary and participation from people outside of the Bay Area who want to take part ... We can feature the conversation on the site as well ...
