Columbia Action Team activities
COLUMBIA — South Carolina Gay and
Lesbian Pride Movement (SCGLPM) President
Kate Goodrich sends out a big thank you to
everyone who braved the clouds and rain on
Primary Day to “exit educate” the voters. “We
had a majority of voters tell us that they would
vote against the amendment,” says Goodrich.
The organization’s next effort will be the
South Carolina Bus Tour to educate rural and
urban voters on amendment issues with the
date to be set for either July 3 or July 10.
Action Teams from all over S.C. will set up
cardboard cut-outs at strategically chosen
crossroads and intersections in towns across
the state, handing out flyers and talking about
the amendment.. These cut-outs will be of
couples and families. Straight couples and gay
couples, as well as different types of families
(single parents and kids, grandmothers and
grandchildren, etc.).
Goodrich also hopes the effort will gener
ate media coverage on local news stations.
