There's a huge amount of activism going on in response to Prop 8 in California and the other anti-LGBTQ state propositions that passed.  A few I know about:

    * Protest 8 SF is focused on a national day of protest on November 15.  Their Google Group and Patrick's post on Pam's House Blend have more.
    * The Courage Campaign's Repeal Prop 8 has a Facebook group and an online petition here.*
    * The Repeal Prop 8 TV ad group on Facebook is discussing how to use
    * Mormons Stole our Rights also have a petition and are up on Facebook and MySpace

I have no idea whether these groups are working together yet, at least at the level of coordinating strategy and avoiding duplication of effort ... hopefully they will be soon.
