Join People For Puget Sound, Capitol Land Trust and Sound Stewards at our Randall restoration site on Mud Bay. Volunteers will be removing invasive weeds such as Himalayan blackberry, poison hemlock and morning glory where they threaten to overtake native plants.

No experience necessary. Children 10 and under must have one to one adult supervision. Bring sturdy footwear, dress for the weather (event takes place rain or shine). Bring your own snacks and plenty of water. If you have tools and work gloves, bring them along, but if you don’t we will have some to spare.

The 11-minute short documentary profiles the activities and attitudes of the group MARC - the Multifaith Alliance of Reconciling Communities, an association of multifaith GLBT clergy, as well as the growth of the Religious Coalition for Equality, an issues-based coalition of clergy of all stripes and sexualities working for GLBT rights.

The film contains unique footage of the Marriage Equality Rally in Olympia on February 14, 2005, when hundreds of clergy and supporters (including the Seattle Men's and Women's Choruses) gathered on the steps of the Capitol in support of love and marriage for all. Since the press virtually ignored the rally, this is a rare opportunity for those who were not there to witness the full scope of the event, and for the rest of us to recall the beauty of the experience.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for Local Shorts through Three Dollar Bill Cinema (http://www.seattlequeerfilm.com).
