whoops, that link didn't get posted, here it is again: www.dailybruin.com/news/2009/mar/09/students-gather-fight-prop-8/
  Discussing the future of this project on the last day of class really made me feel hopeful about the project moving forward.  It seems like it could really be successful being integrated into schools, churches, and other communities, continuing to touch people's lives and getting the project's important message out there.

In terms of making connections and creating networks of support for this project, I think that we should, as many people were saying in class, start small and local with the people in our own communities and lives.  Even just at UCLA, I don't think we could do more outreach--I just came across a Daliy Bruin article the other day about another on campus group protesting Prop. 8.  I was surprised that I had never heard of them before and that they were not somehow involved in our project or our event.
The organization in this article, called Won Together, is a completely student-run group trying to rally outside student support and funding for the No. on 8 campaign.  The link to the article is posted below. 

Anyway,  I know that this project is going to go places in the future, and I hope that I can still be involved in some way as it moves forward!
