Date: Wed, 30 Nov 1994 22:35:18 -0600 (CST) From: Chris Sykes Subject: Simply Equal needs YOUR help!! Hello all! Those of you in Lawrence are probably already familiar with Simply Equal, the organization which is trying to get sexual orientation added to the Lawrence human rights ordinance. Well, Simply Equal is approaching the city commission now, and needs your help to make it work. Simply Equal has submitted a report to the Lawrence City Commission consisting of letters of supprt (from individuals, prominent locals, organizations, churches, and so on) as well as the stories of people in Lawrence who have been discriminated against due to their sexual orientation. On this coming Tuesday, December 6, the city commission will be deciding whether to schedule a study session to consider the report. Basically, they're going to vote on whether to even give us a chance to present our suggestion to them. We need EVERYONE to telephone our city commisioners, tell them you're a Lawrence resident (and voter!), that you support Simply Equal, and that you'd like them to vote to schedule a study session. (If you'd like to see the report yourself, a copy is available at the Lawrence Public Library reference desk). They're out of town at some conference until this Friday, so please call between Friday and Tuesday. Their phone numbers are listed below. Please call! Forward this message to a friend or three! The religious right has gotten wind of this and they're DEFINITELY calling, so your voice is VITAL for this. Thanks!!
