Our Donor Renewal 2008 campaign is well under way!  We mailed our end-of-the-year letter in October, and reached out to as many of our supporters as we could during our Fall Phonebank in the last few weeks.  Thanks to all of you who took the time to speak with our staff and volunteers, and to those of you who have already sent in your donation!  All of your financial contributions are greatly appreciated, and make our work possible!

If you still need to make your 2008 donation, click here to donate online!  And, if you didn't receive a letter or phone call, and would like to, please contact devo@ruckus.org.

Ruckus will be participating in GenVote's election debrief this week, before heading to Facing Race.

Friday, Nov. 7, Ruckus supported a group of activists who joined hands and lined up across Market Street, stopping traffic for several hours while thousands marched to protest the passage of Prop 8.  The blockade inspired a rousing (but nonviolent!) night of taking over San Francisco's streets in the name of fighting for equal rights!  Click to read the full report!
