Description:
The ban against same-sex marriage has been in effect in Australia for over 5 years, this homophobic ban means that same sex couples are unable to explore and celebrate their relationships in the same way allowed to all other couples in Australia. On November the 22nd the senate inquiry into same sex marriage will release its findings, the inquiry has received a record number of submissions demanding the same civil rights for all Australians. Regardless of the outcome of the inquiry, it’s important that everyone who supports equal marriage rights comes out on November 28 to launch the Year of Action to keep the pressure on the federal government to repeal this homophobic ban. Together we can make November 28 just as big a success as August 1st because almost equal isn’t equal and we demand nothing less than full equal rights!

Presidential Medal of Freedom Awardee and Civil Rights figure: Dr. Joseph Lowery to speak at Glide Church, November 8, 2009 - 11am Celebrations Rev. Joseph Lowery, 87, a major figure in the civil rights movement who marched with Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and gave the benediction at Barack Obama's inauguration will preach at Glide Memorial Church (330 Ellis Street, San Francisco) at 11:00AM Celebrations on Sunday November 8th. The event is free and open to the public. Best known for his wonderful benediction at the inauguration of President Barack Obama on January 20, 2009 ending with an interpolation of Big Bill Broonzy’s “Black, Brown and White”: Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. Let all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen! Say Amen! And Amen! In 2006, at Coretta Scott King’s funeral, Dr. Lowery received a standing ovation when he remarked before four United States Presidents (including the standing president George Bush): We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over there. But Coretta knew and we know that there are weapons of misdirection right down here. Millions without health insurance, poverty abounds, for war billions more . . . but no more for the poor! Reverend Lowery has received many prestigious awards, among them: a Life Time Achievement Award for the NAACP in 1997; the Martin Luther King Jr. Center Peace Award and the National Urban League’s Whitney M. Young Jr. Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004; several honorary doctorates from colleges and universities including Dillard University, Morehouse College, Alabama State University and University of Alabama, Huntsville. Recently, in 2009, Reverend Lowery received the Fred L. Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award by the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. Lowery was pastor of the Warren Street Methodist Church in Mobile, Alabama from 1952 until 1961. His career in the civil rights movement began in the early 1950s in Mobile, Alabama. After Rosa Parks’ arrest in 1955, Lowery helped lead the Montgomery bus boycott. He headed the Alabama Civic Affairs Association, an organization devoted to the desegregation of buses and public places. In 1957, with Martin Luther King Jr., Lowery founded the Southern Christina Leadership Conference and subsequently led the organization as its president from 1977 to 1997. He currently services as Founder of the Joseph E. Lowery Institute for Justice and Human Rights at Clark Atlanta University [www.loweryinstitute.org]. More Information? Contact: Rev.

Looking at deeply rooted practices and policies, he draws forth the lessons we must learn from these times of economic trial in order to put the world economy back in balance. Did the stimulus package really help? What went wrong? How long will it take our economy to correct itself? Recognized as a leading economist and educator, Stiglitz has written many books, including “Globalization and Its Discontents,” which has been translated into 35 languages. His books also include “The Roaring Nineties, Towards a New Paradigm in Monetary Economics” and “Making Globalization Work.” His most recent book, “The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict,” with Linda Bilmes of Harvard University, was published in March 2008.

Stiglitz was a member of the Council of Economic Advisers during the Clinton administration. He then became Chief Economist and Senior Vice-President of the World Bank from 1997-2000. He is a graduate of Amherst College and received his Ph.D. from MIT. In 2008, he was appointed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy to chair a Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Economic Progress.
