Q & A with Aubrey Sarvis
The Advocate has posted its Q & A interview with SLDN executive director Aubrey Sarvis online. Here's an excerpt: What is priority number 1 as you embark on this challenge? Creating a national political campaign. This is a new commitment from the board, and it and the staff are committed to raising the resources to mount this. It’ll look like a traditional national presidential campaign: We’ll go to targeted congressional districts; we’ll focus on targeted states. The organization has already been doing that, but we have to do a hell of a lot more. What else will you do? We have to convince our supporters and friends of a new sense of urgency, to renew their investment with us. We already know our [$2.8 million] budget has to be doubled within the next 18 months. A national campaign costs money. We also have to look at a broader coalition. This fight has to look like those that led to the [1964] civil rights legislation. What we’re asking Congress to do is to give us a civil rights bill. This issue is not just a gay issue. It is job discrimination, and it should be important to all Americans.
