Plan of Action
And Justice for All


And Justice for All is dedicated to achieving equality for all without 
regard to sexual orientation and to increasing the visibility of 
heterosexuals in the bisexual, gay, lesbian and transgender rights 
movement.  We seek to achieve our goals by organizing on three fronts:  
university campuses, the Internet, and at public festivals and celebrations.

Colleges and Universities

     Colleges and universities are among the safest spaces available to 
bisexual, gay, lesbian and transgender (b/g/l/t) people.  The level of 
tolerance and acceptance found on many campuses rivals that of the gay 
neighborhoods in many large cities.  However, even on liberal campuses, 
most people assume that all those who are actively involved with an 
b/g/l/t group are themselves lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered.

     Even a large university is a relatively small community  - a place 
where a few committed individuals can make a major impact.  And Justice 
for All will recruit a core of supporters and assist them as they 
participate in their university's b/g/l/t activities.  Possible actions 
include: participating in a speak-out; writing letters to the editor of 
the school and community newspaper(s); and sponsoring a speech, panel, or 
similar event.  Although they do not require a burdensome time 
commitment, these activities will raise the awareness of heterosexual 
involvement in the b/g/l/t rights movement and further the ultimate goal 
of equality and social justice.

The Internet

     The Internet is an extraordinarily powerful and versatile tool for 
mass communication.  Individuals (or small groups) can spread information 
and engage in dialogue over incredible distances at very low cost.  And 
Justice for All will take full advantage of this technology.  

     We have no intention of duplicating the efforts of other groups by 
regularly researching and publishing our own activist alerts.  We intend 
to find and subscribe to relevant e-mail lists, Internet Newsgroups, and 
activist alert mailing lists, concentrating our efforts on communicating 
this information to an audience existing groups do not adequately reach - 
heterosexuals.   

Public Events

     Throughout the year, cities and towns, organizations and 
institutions sponsor Pride festivals and other events to promote 
awareness of b/g/l/t issues.   These events serve both as a place for 
activists to come together and as the primary interface between the 
b/g/l/t and other communities.

     And Justice for All will take an active role in these events because 
they provide an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the diversity of the 
movement.  We will listen, speak and distribute information with the aim 
of bringing new members to our organization and into the movement as a 
whole.
