Camp Courage: Where should we go next?

Last week we asked our members to match a $25,000 donation from Dr. Bill Resnick and Dr. Doug Cordell to fund our Camp Courage training this Sunday in Los Angeles, and they came through big time. Courage Campaign members raised $68,000 online - most of it from small donors giving under $100. And that stunning display of support has inspired our friends at MoveOn.org to support Camp Courage as well, joining SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West and the California Nurses Association as major organizational sponsors of these training events.
Because of that incredible financial support, we are asking our members to help decide where to schedule at least 3-5 more Camp Courage trainings across California, as we work to give thousands of activists the tools they need to repeal Prop 8. These votes will help our staff make some tough decisions on where to locate our Camp Courage trainings in the months ahead.
We will weigh many factors, including prioritizing trainings in communities that will likely not receive as many votes as major metropolitan areas. Ultimately, we want to make strategic decisions and pick locations that will help build the Marriage Equality Movement across California.
