Additional Info:
Bring signs, banners, whatever!  Kristen was walking less than three blocks from her home when she was brutally attacked by two men. The unidentified assailants called her an "f---ing dyke", then punched and kicked her until she lost consciousness.  Email "queerwomenmarch@gmail.com" if you wish to volunteer in some way, cover the march or get more information.

Many years ago, I did some brief volunteer work for the Homicide center.  I know they're not geared for some kind of "Amber alert" system, but they of all people should know the relationship between queer bashing and homicide.  Do they have any news alerts?  No.

How about the local political activist radical faeries?  No.
