Subj: Corpus Christi/I AM Love Campaign
We are specifically looking for a local venue who will help us produce this event and your name was brought to our attention as a community leader who might be able to help or at least point us in the right direction. We are ideally looking at mid-October for the weekend event. To give you a fuller idea of what this Campaign is about and what we are looking for, I’ve included a more detailed outline below of our proposal. We will begin the tour in September with 3-5 cities in Iowa, ending in Chicago. We are also looking at Orlando in October and would love to include Tampa/St Pete in this experience.
Thanks for the consideration and please don’t hesitate to write should you have any more questions or inspired thoughts,
James Brandon

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE ARE DOING
The I Am Love Campaign is an anti-bullying movement designed to educate and open minds through artistic endeavors and community outreach. We travel with the campaign to bring it directly into the communities that are calling out for it or that we feel would directly benefit from it. We typically look for states and cities that have issues with equality and a need for starting a better dialogue. Our aim is to change the story on bullying and ignite conversations within communities that will move them to a better understanding and acceptance of differences. This first year of the campaign will take a strong focus on bullying of LGBT youth and bullying with a religious/spiritual standpoint in particular. Our web site is a great tool for you and others you might want to share it with to become familiar with our mission- corpuschristi-themovie.comThis year the Campaign is centered around the play Corpus Christi and the documentary based on the play that explores where (if at all) the LGBT community finds itself at the table of faith and why they would want to return. Religious dogma seems to be at the heart of every aspect for blocking full equality to LGBT individuals. Each stop on our national tour will include a community event like a symposium of leaders, town hall style meeting, workshop or gathering to discuss issues affecting the community such as bullying, marriage equality, racial discourse and general issues of civil rights.
In each city over a period of two or three days the I AM Love Campaign would include:
1) A community event that would give voice to differing viewpoints and explore peaceful solutions.
2) A screening of the documentary Corpus Christi:Playing With Redemption.
3) Performances of the play Corpus Christi.

Subj: RNC Town Meeting and Video/Picture of Taggers
Greetings,
Once again our Business Watch Members step up! (thank you to Honeypot, King Corona, and The Ritz!) Here is great video of the “taggers” (attached)…I really think these individuals work in Ybor City. This incident happened at 1:20 pm on Tuesday 7-10. If you know or see these guys on a daily basis…please contact me immediately. Do not share this information with them (hopefully they’re not your employees). The male with the light colored short sleeve shirt is over $1000 worth of damage to businesses in Ybor City. Let’s get em!
***For RNC updates during the event…sign up for Alert Tampa…letter from Chief Castor attached***

TRADEGY STRIKES
Nyna D. a waitress at the St. Petersburg Diner on 34th Street N in St. Petersburg, FL was
recently informed that she will no longer have a job, since the diner has been sold and will be
closing shortly.
As if being jobless was not tough enough, on the night of July 21,
2012, her apartment building was destroyed by a fire. Although
she managed to escape with smoke inhalation, all her
possessions, except the pajamas she was wearing, were
destroyed in this tragic fire.
Nyna Fund Update 001
07/25/12
To all those who have shown an interest in helping Nyna D. and
may have visited the TGTB website or made a donation, see link,
here is some more information.
Brianna Lovely, the Director of TransGender-TampaBay, Inc.,
visited with Nyna D. on July 24, 2012. She spent several hours talking with Nyna and
assuring her that she really did have “friends”, people who cared about her and wanted to
help, in her time of need.
After taking Nyna to a clinic for follow-up from smoke inhalation and other medical problems,
Brianna drove Nyna to a pharmacy to have her prescriptions filled, as all her medications
were destroyed in the house fire.
Apparently Nyna, who lived on the second floor, lost her home due to a fire “allegedly” started
by a first floor tenant. The police are investigating the matter as a possible arson and
attempted murder case.
Although Nyna managed to escape with her life, she did lose two cats in the fire, but
managed to rescue a parrot that she’s had for 36 years.
Brianna presented Nyna with a check from TGTB, Inc. and the “Nyna Fund”, along with a
couple of store gift cards.
As more donations are made to the “Nyna Fund”, checks will be issued from TGTB, Inc. to
Nyna D. on a weekly basis.
During our visit, between sobs and tears, Nyna said, I never knew anyone cared. I’m so
grateful to you and TransGender-TampaBay for helping me out.
Would you please help by going to: http://transgendertampabay.org/ and clicking on the link:
“NYNA FUND” near the bottom of the Gateway page?
You may also donate to TGTB, Inc. by going to http://transgendertampabay.org/ and clicking
