Organizing for America Community Action Night / LGBT ISSUES
NOTE: This will be the first time that all three Nevada Stonewall Organizations will participate in a joint meeting using New Media.
We will be discussing the Pro-LGBT policies of the Obama administration since he took office in 2009.
Just a few policies that the administration has produced in the last two years:

What is the Idea Behind OFA CAN?
Our intent for OFA Community Action Night is simple: Knowledge + action = activism. The first portion of each OFA CAN allows you to mix and mingle with fellow supporters. From there we learn about a particular legislative issue and then break up into small groups to immediately organize around the issue.
Every OFA CAN concludes by giving you time to take action on the spot! If you like writing letters to the editor/blogs or even just talking to other supporters, then this Community Action Night is for you! Please bring a laptop or pen/paper.
