From: Ellen McCormick Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 10:42:42 Subject: CA: Anti-Hate Crimes Legislation Workshop Have you been the target of a hate crime because of how you express your gender? Are you afraid of being bashed for how you express your gender? Do you care about hate crimes against gender-variant people? Do transgender lives matter to you? LIFE Lobby and the Los Angeles County Transgender Task Force invite you to a meeting to discuss how we can start working toward getting California State legal protection against hate crimes that target transgender and gender-variant people. We need your input and your dedication to make a difference in transgendered people's lives. Unless we have strong community support, we cannot make this happen. When: Saturday, October 11, 1997, 1-4 p.m. Where: AIDS Project Los Angeles, Studio 1B Why: Because we won't stand for being bashed any longer!!!!!!! Because our lives and bodies and minds and spirits matter!!!!!!! APLA is located at 1313 N. Vine St., at the corner of Vine & Fountain in Hollywood. There is free parking in the back of the APLA building; enter the parking lot from Fountain Ave. Please pass the word along.
