Our meeting on December 8th was a success, with community activists and students from five area colleges in attendance and eager to continue to organize this winter and beyond.
We will be taking a break for the holidays, but stay tuned for more meetings in January!

LGBT: We Demand Equality!
#
Why We Need a Grassroots Movement Demanding LGBT Equality and How To Build It
#
Tuesday * Dec. 8 * 7PM
#
UMass Campus Center Room 803
#
In most states, for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) people:
#
It's legal to be fired because of your sexuality or gender identity;
#
Same sex marriage is illegal, and where it's allowed couples are denied over 1,000 federal benefits including immigration equality;
#
LGBT people face discrimination in housing; gay men may not give blood.
#
In addition LGBT people may not serve openly in the military, the largest employer in the USA.
#
Come to the first Western Mass meeting of Equality Across America to find out why we need a grassroots movement demanding full federal equality and how we can build it.

RSVP on Facebook.
