Contact National Equality March for event and ticket information.
Sunday, October 11, 2009 from 6:00 AM - 11:00 PM (ET)
On October 10-11, 2009, we will gather in Washington, D.C. from all across America to let our elected leaders know that now is the time for full equal rights for LGBT people. We’ve had a moment thrust upon us by the election of President Barack Obama and the spirit of hope and change, and also by the sense of entitlement in the new generation of grassroots organizing. This march is a vehicle to a larger goal. We want to work to bridge the gap between the national organizations and the grassroots community organizers. We will gather. We will strategize. We will march. And we will leave energized and empowered to do the work that needs to be done in every community across the nation. This is only the beginning.
Our single demand: Equal protection in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states.
New York has an important role to play in this march, because New York is the home to the largest LGBT population of any city in the country. The next largest such population isn't in driving distance of Washington, D.C. So we need to go. We need to show our numbers. Because people will be watching. We have to stand up for all those who can't be in Washington.
Buses return the same night. Details to be provided in an email. Tickets are not refundable unless the event is cancelled.
