Speakers will begin at 6 p.m., including Mayor Sue Bauman and school board member Juan Jose Lopez. Alfonso Zepeda-Capistran, President of Latinos United for Change and Advancement, and Charlie Daniel, a longtime advocate for LGBT youth and leader in the African Community, will also speak. Every Minute Counts, a group primarily made up of UW-Madison students and alumni is also planning a response to Fred Phelps' upcoming visit to Madison. A party and fund-raiser aptly named Every Minute Counts is scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. on Monday April 2nd during Phelps' scheduled protest at the University Memorial Union. After learning that Phelps was going to target his bar, Orr staged a per-minute fundraiser to benefit Ann Arbor's local LGBT community center.
Event planners envision a party atmosphere, with a DJ and dancing.
