The Details

August 15 & 16th: Tabling at Oakland's Art and Soul Festival (Equality Team Event)
Come volunteer and share your story of self at the Art and Soul Festival on August 15th and 16th!

A Story of Self tells why we have been called to serve. For example, precisely when did you first care about being heard, about fighting for marriage equality? When did you feel you had to do something about it? Why did you feel you could? The elements of the Story of Self include, Character(s), challenge, choice, and outcome. There will be more detailed instructions provided at the festival.

You don't have to share, you can just inform people of what Courage Campaign is all about (www.couragecampaign.org) and inform people that Courage Campaign's Alameda County Equality Team is a totally grassroot effort of volunteers here to inform the public to the need to fight for marriage equality.

Sign up for one or two hour shifts. Set-up begins at 9am. Festival opens to the public 12 noon and goes until 6pm.

If you are interested, Please contact Lisa at (510)862-9134 or email me at lisadavis1907@comcast.net.

Thank you!

About County Equality Teams
  • Based on the volunteer-driven Neighborhood Team model that proved successful during the Obama campaign, our Neighborhood Equality Teams provide the opportunity for people to be involved at a local level in this important movement for equality.
  • The mission of our Equality Teams is as follows:
    • Establish an active and visible presence in the community for marriage equality.
    • Develop relationships with local elected officials and supportive organizations to create an opportunity for sharing resources and building local power.
    • Coordinate regular voter contact actions - including canvasses, phone-banks, tabling at community events, and registering new voters.
    • Represent the community in important state-wide actions, trainings, and conference calls focused on marriage equality.
  • Over the past six months, local activists have established 44 Equality Teams in 23 counties.  Those teams have hosted more than 140 events, knocked on thousands of doors and have held countless successful and moving conversations with undecided California voters.
