“Camp Courage” to provide activists practical, hands-on skills to organize for marriage equality.
Washington – The Human Rights Campaign, the nation´s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, announced today the sponsorship of “Camp Courage,” an intensive two-day training institute organized by the California-focused Courage Campaign. The training program will provide grassroots activists the practical, hands-on skills to organize in their communities on marriage equality for same-sex couples. The issue-focused training program follows the passage of Proposition 8—the discriminatory amendment that eliminated the right of lesbian and gay couples to marry in the state. The San Diego training will take place from April 18 – April 19. Dates for the San Francisco training will be released shortly. To learn more, visit: http://www.CourageCampaign.org/CampCourageArmy.
