Lavender stripe meets

Jackson for President outreach coordinator, prior to a meeting of the lavender stripe of the
Oregon Rainbow Coalition.
Gays and lesbians in Oregon are emulating those in other states by solidly backing the candidacy
o f Jesse Jackson for president. Jackson has not failed to address concerns of lesbians and gays as
have other candidates in the Democratic primary. (And forget the Republicans altogether.)
Jesse Jackson was the only candidate to attend or speak at the National March on Washington for
Lesbian and Gay Rights last October and has made outreach to gays and lesbians consistently since
that time.
