Dear Friends,

We are sending this notice to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender
organizations as well as the HIV/AIDS resource agencies throughout Iowa.  
We are urging you to send representatives from your group and/or community
to a statewide meeting on Saturday, July 8.

The main purpose of this meeting is to establish a functioning statewide 
network in response to the recent anti-gay action of the extreme right.  
Iowans have accomplished a lot in the past fifteen years toward winning 
equal rights for lesbian, gay and bisexual people.  Seeing this fine work
sabotaged would be tragic.  Please help counter the lies and scapegoating
currently being spewed by adding your presence and input to this very
important meeting. We can return Iowa to the path toward realizing our full
equal rights, but it will require our considerable effort and commitment.

Looking forward  to seeing you there.

Due to privacy considerations, please reply to the poster for contact numbers.
