Dear John,

I’m writing to make sure you saw the below message from Kylie about the anti-abortion, anti-LGBT fundraiser going on in Los Angeles next month. So far, Vibiana has not responded to our letter, so we need your voice to amplify our request: Tell @VibianaEvents to cancel the Live Action fundraiser now! Here's some new sample social posts to share on Twitter or comment on their Instagram:

.@VibianaEvents wants to have their cake and eat it too by hosting @Outfest celebrating LGBT people one month, and a gala for the anti-abortion, anti-LGBT group Live Action next. How about a night out without a side of hate, Vibiana? http://bit.ly/2qW4heY

.@VibianaEvents has a stacked plate: this month @Outfest celebrating LGBT trailblazers, & next month Live Action's gala, fundraising for anti-abortion, anti-LGBT propagandists.
Hey Vibiana: hate doesn't belong on your menu! http://bit.ly/2qW4heY

Or, share this graphic and tag @VibianaEvents:

Text reads "To the Kitchen of Chef Neal Fraser and Amy Knoll Fraser: Take hate off your menu" with icons of food items. Text below reads: "Tell @VibianaEvents to cancel their fundraiser for the anti-abortion, anti-LGBT group Live Action." Image has a pink background.
Bon appétit,

Erin Matson
Co-Founder and Co-Director, Reproaction

P.S. Dismantling anti-abortion lies and stigma is a tall order, and it’s going to take all of us. See how you can call out @VibianaEvents here.

Dear John,

Yesterday, I took action to deliver a message against ‘pro-life’ misinformation at a local restaurant where I live in L.A.

Vibiana, a restaurant and large events venue near me, is hosting the annual gala for the extreme anti-abortion organization Live Action, which is known for harmful anti-LGBT and anti-abortion rhetoric, some of which has already produced dangerous consequences.

Reproaction, along with the Campaign for Accountability, is asking Vibiana to call off this fundraiser and disassociate from anti-abortion extremists. You can watch me deliver our statement and read our letter here.

If you’re as steamed as I am that a venue that hosts charitable and LGBT-inclusive events is also holding a fundraiser for an extreme anti-abortion, anti-LGBT group, join me in letting them know. You can tweet them or tag @vibianaevents in this image on Instagram:

Pale pink background with black lace border design and black text reading: Hey, Vibiana: No one wants to party with anti-abortion, anti-LGBT extremists. Tell @VibianaEvents to cancel their fundraiser for Live Action.
.@VibianaEvents should cancel next month’s gala for the extreme anti-abortion, anti-LGBT group Live Action.

.@VibianaEvents, how could you host @Outfest this month and a Live Action fundraiser the next, when Live Action espouses anti-LGBT and anti-abortion rhetoric on the regular?

In Solidarity,

Kylie Cheung
Campaign Fellow, Reproaction
