Screening of the Documentary
"Ballot Measure 9"
followed by discussion led by Donna Red Wing and
Dr. Glenda Russell
Lafayette Public Library (775 W. Baseline Rd)
Wednesday, May 18th 6 to 8pm |
|---|
 In 1992, while Colorado was facing Amendment 2, Oregon was fighting Ballot Measure 9 - another virulently anti-gay initiative. A revealing and spirited documentary, "Ballot Measure 9" takes a frightening look at a persistent and growing lack of tolerance in America. The film provides an excellent lesson in community organizing and building grassroots power.
Following the screening, Dr. Glenda Russell and Donna Red Wing will share their experiences of working against the passage of Amendment 2 and Ballot Measure 9, respectively. Donna Red Wing is featured in the film, "Ballot Measure 9."
We will look back over the almost 20 years since Amendment 2 / Ballot Measure 9, and look forward - where is the LGBTQ movement headed? Where will our movement be 20 years from now? Free - everyone welcome! Part of the events connected to the traveling exhibition, "Nazi Persecution of Homosexuals," on display at the Boulder Public Library through May 22nd.

Noon to 2pm at the Boulder Public Library |

 How did it happen? The Rise of Hitler from 1919-1933. From noon to 12:45pm
Many of us have some knowledge of Hitler and the inhumane slaughter of millions of innocent people under his twelve-year reign of terror in Nazi Germany from 1933-1945-but few of us have attempted to understand the complexities behind the way in which his dictatorship came about. Presented by Professor Mary Ann Grim, a history instructor at Metro State College of Denver and Front Range Community College.
 Then, from 12:45pm to 2pm, please join a wonderfully diverse panel of guests who will speak to "The Important Role of Allies, Then, Now...and into the Future." Some panelists will share their knowledge on ally work during the Holocaust; while others will share how and why ally work is still a critical component in realizing equality for the LGBTQ communities. This panel will be the last event of the "Nazi Persecution of Homosexuals" exhibition, and it promises to inspire you while offering hope through ways of becoming a partner in working towards justice.

Join Out Boulder at the Farmers' Markets!
Looking for Volunteers to help us staff information tables! |
|---|
 This summer, Out Boulder's OUTREACH team will be OUT in full force creating safe space among local fruits & vegetables. As those of you familiar with OUT Boulder & our mission know, its not easy always being "OUT," even in Boulder County.
We have information/outreach tables at the Boulder, Longmont and Lafayette Farmers' Markets. Through these tables, we reach LGBT people who haven't heard of us before and get them connected to the larger community. We also reach allies who want to find out more and support us. Finally, we also reach folks who may not know much at all about the LGBT community. We believe that every interaction is a positive one - even if someone just reads our banner and keeps on walking by...
By volunteering to staff the Out Boulder info table, you are helping to reach and build community in a very direct, powerful way. We invite you to join us this summer at any of our 3 Boulder County locations, Wednesdays Thursdays and Saturdays, various shifts available. Volunteers are always paired with staff so you will never be "OUT" alone. Please contact volunteer@outboulder.org if you'd like to join us this summer. We hope to see you there!
