Last Fall, chapters of Equality Across America (EAA) were founded across the country in the wake of the October 11, National Equality March, when 250,000 people descended on DC demanding full equality for LGBTQ people NOW!
*
150 people came from Western Mass., and in December students from 5 local colleges as well as members of the community founded the Western Mass. chapter of Equality Across America.

Now that the success of the march has shown the potential for building a grassroots movement for LGBTQ equality, it's time to roll up our sleeves and get down to the business of transforming EAA from a new network of activists into an organizations that can put pressure on the politicians in DC to force them to take action, to win full federal equality.

Let's meet to discuss how to develop our organization, how we can become the leaders this movement needs, and to plan for the northeast regional Equality Across America conference the weekend of March 26-28, when EAA members from across the region will come together to strengthen our connections, learn from one another, and discuss and debate the way forward for our struggle.

By us, get off at the main Hampshire stop. FPH is right across from the bus stop, past the large flag pole. Go around the back (by the parking lot) and look for a sign for the meeting.
