You’ve received this email because you expressed interest in helping me fight for marriage equality in the Vietnamese community. I’ve convinced the Courage Campaign that should table at next month’s Tet Festival in Orange County (since we supposedly lost Prop 8 due to lack of reaching out to ethnic groups in OC). However, I currently look like a fool because I can’t get any Vietnamese people to volunteer or sign up for shifts! I have four “asks” I was hoping that some of you can help me out:
1) Translate the attached materials into Vietnamese. I know it’s a lot, so maybe you can volunteer for one document? 2) Sign up for a 2-hour shift at the Courage Campaign/Equality California booth and talk in Vietnamese to our community. Please sign up at http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dFl3YjU4eEFmZWRGMURMZHhXVnFPNGc6MA 3) I’ve secured a Vietnamese radio show to air an episode on LGBT issues – it’s broadcasted to Vietnam, so I am looking for an LGBT person willing to talk about his or her experience (in Vietnamese). 4) Forward the snippet below to all your other LGTB friends and other LGBT-inclining Asian groups
