WEST HOLLYWOOD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Genevieve Morrill, President / CEO
After unprecedented progress since the Black Cat Protest, Stone Wall Riots, AIDS and Prop 8, we’re challenged yet again and at crossroads of history. This time, we face the threat of those who wish to set us apart and reverse our progress. But the real threat is apathy, complacency and lack of unity. Our West Hollywood Business Community stands proud and ready to join the #ResistMarch to show the world that we believe in an America that promotes equality and justice for all!

CAFE D'ETOILE
Tom Doherty, Owner
West Hollywood traditionally and annually claims one weekend every June to
recognize and celebrate the achievements of all civil rights actions and accomplishments
of several and varied groups and factions of ALL AMERICANS and those that aspire to be a part of this great nation. This year,, this particular weekend has serious significant meaning. This being said, #ResistMarch is the unilateral forum and title that has been chosen to represent the tenor of the importance of what this nation
is currently facing within the constitutional quagmire. This day and this weekend in June is crucial for our collective voices to be unified and heard LOUDLY. Please join in the celebration of all the rights that the constitution
has grown to include. Let's keep in mind that the Constitution has never yet been used
as a tool to decrease rights of any American, and it never shall
as long as we keep all of it's sacred meanings close to heart.
There will be plentiful economic and political gain for all who participate.
