MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

One of the most important tools in the movement for LGBT equality is involvement in electoral politics. The GLBT Alliance sends questionnaires to candidates to ascertain where they stand on issues specific to the LGBT community, and to educate them about our issues. Our endorsement has come to really matter to candidates. In the beginning it was "the GLBT who?"; now candidates seek us out. We also hold or co-sponsor forums at which candidates can be questioned about their knowledge of and stands on LGBT issues.

Our next forum, co-sponsored with the People's Democratic Club, featuring candidates for Santa Cruz City Council and a discussion of ballot measures, will be held on Thursday, September 16 at 6:00 at Louden Nelson Community Center, 301 Center St., Santa Cruz.
