We took out a 1/2 page advertisement in the Diversity Center's 2009 Resource Directory to
emphasize our reaction to proposition 8 passing  that will look like this:

CALL IT WHAT IT IS:

Dr Wendy Chapkis
(University of Southern Maine Department of Sociology)
Drew on this under-used concept on 11/5/08 during a consolatory phone call the day after the election with Melissa Bernstein. In a political movement we need to have words to talk about what is happening in our environment...so let's talk vocabulary.  First we called it homophobia...then heterosexism...now let's call it what is.... heterosupremacy.

A few heterosexual friends of mine have commented: "wait I'm a heterpsexual but I totally voted "No on 8" so I don't think that term fits! To them I say "yeah, it doesn't fit for you just like I don't call you a white supremacist just cause you are white".


 

Activists here is a camera ready version for your local paper.  The poster to the right downloads to print to an 8.5 x11 page: Hey now - want a gratis specialized size for your town paper? Okay. Email us. Our ad will originally appear on page 2 of the September 18th version of the Santa Cruz Good Times. Thank you to all those who donated to fund our ad to help spread the word. Please consider also volunteering at your local "No on 8" campaign. For more local Santa Cruz No on 8" info. check out: http://www.santacruznoon8.org/

The 16th Annual Santa Cruz Dyke March
Was Saturday May 31, 2008
Rally at 3:30 pm March at 6:15 pm
At the Clock Tower downtown Santa Cruz
On North Pacific Avenue and Water Street
The Annual Santa Cruz Dyke March has been happening for 16 years on the Saturday night before Gaysbian Pride.
The purpose of Dyke March is to increase lesbian visibility and activism.
We exercise our first amendment right to gather and without corporate sponsorship.

Thanks to all of this year's performers and participants!
 

Hey Mel ya big DYKE!

 

Santa Cruz Dyke March is a kid friendly event -- but may include sex, drugs and obscenities...
come on people...public is public!

Scrapbook of our past events:

    This year’s theme: 

 

Our theme reflects an Anti-Assimilation Pro Queer perspective. Santa Cruz Dyke March is no parade-
it is the practice of CIVIL RIGHTS DEMONSTRATIONS. We oppose the Gaysbian movement about obtaining Eurocentric straight privilege and challenge the power structure.

      The Direct Action steps off at 6:15pm.  Featured performers are:    

MC - Cheri Lovedog Radical Cheerleaders Genea Gjaguar Jasmine
Gabriel Morte Frootie Flavors Lex and more…
Lisa Dewey Diane Patterson Beaver Cleaver  
Gloria Nieto

Something Wicked Fire Troupe

 

No more male-dominated, corporate-sponsored Pride events. Not a parade!

A direct action demonstration and a celebration of dyke visibility. Come out with your banners, signs, noise makers, and Be-you-to-the-full selves.
