I attended the initial organizing meeting Jan 13th. The plan is to hold organizing meetings in person at 7pm every other Weds. I think the next one is 1/26 at a location TBD. They will also try to create a calendar of events in support of April 9th Send event postings to hanalei@gmail.com.

April 9th will have a rally and march from Union Sq down to Foley Sq where they'll be a second rally. There will be a mirror event in San Francisco. Possibly others in London, Vancouver.

Note from Jim:

Let's get the word out as much as possible to make this huge! Those who can take an active part in helping to organize are needed.
