Folks:
I'm saddened to report that I just got a note from Jon Hoadley, that he is leaving Stonewall Dems. Jon has been a tireless advocate for the national GLBTQ movement both before (and no doubt after) his tenure at Stonewall Dems; and I personally intend to see what we can do from here in Chicago to support his effort at One Kalamazoo. ScottsBigMouth, and I'm sure the rest of the hardcore GLBTQ blogerati wish Jon well, and thank him for his service thus far.
Here's the actual letter...PLEASE consider making a donation if you have the means.
Thanks,
Scott Foval

| Dear Pro-equality Democrat, I wanted to take a moment and say thank you. If you haven't heard, I'm stepping down as Executive Director of Stonewall Democrats to lead One Kalamazoo, a new Kalamazoo, Michigan campaign to protect the local nondiscrimination ordinance that is being challenged in a ballot fight this November. While it was a difficult decision to end my tenure at Stonewall Democrats, I'm confidant the organization will continue to do great work in the capable hands of interim Director Kyle Bailey. Stonewall Democrats is in a secure place financially. We've recently expanded our talented staff, and our new board is smart and strategic. Stonewall will be gearing up for the 2010 elections with new leadership, and I'm excited to see what the organization will accomplish. Because I know they'll do great things, I'm continuing my financial support of the organization - in fact, I'm increasing it to $125 per month. I know we can't waste the next year, and my money will support Stonewall Democrats like you who are working hard right now to secure victories for pro-equality Democrats around the country. Will you join me in supporting Stonewall Democrats with a gift of $100, $60, or $35? Giving to Stonewall during this important transition will allow the organization's work to continue unabated, and even grow. Our staff has ambitious plans for the next year. We're planning to roll out new services to aid our chapters - and members like you - doing the important field work that elects pro-equality Democrats in cities, counties, and states across the country. Please give to Stonewall - even $35 helps us place staff on key races and turn out LGBT voters for amazing Democrats - to help me say goodbye to the organization that continues to inspire the work I do everyday. To give monthly (or to make a one-time gift), click here. Thank you in advance for your generosity, and thank you for the hard work you continue to do at the grassroots level to build our movement from the ground up. To continued victories,  Jon Hoadley |
