JULY 1 - GLBT Community Founds ACT OUT SAVANNAH
In response to the recent attacks on members of the GLBT community of Savannah, and “in response to the City and Police Department’s failure to maintain a safe and healthy environment for our community, the fiercest of Savannah’s activists have joined together to bring the fight for equal protection, equal rights and equal justice to the streets.” According to Cody Patterson, the executive director of a new group called ACT OUT SAVANNAH.
“In collaboration with numerous organizations and individuals nationwide, passionately fearless Savannahians have united together to found a group called ACT OUT SAVANNAH,” according to Patterson.
For parents of gay and lesbian teens, the group offers support and guidance.
The founding Executive Board consists of Patterson; Director of Operations, Antonio Rodriguez; Director of Community Affairs, Kevin Clark; and Director of Information, Spencer Wulwick
The Mission Statement of ACT OUT SAVANNAH is that the group will “fight with fierce activism for equal rights and justice in all issues facing the GLBT community on a local, state and national level.”
For additional information, the group has a website at www.actoutsavannah.org.
