Madison, WI		 6:00 p.m. Library Mall State Street-- Madison, WI We will be marching for marriage equality on the day after Iowa marries their first gay couples. We will be marching to the capitol and demanding that the State Supreme Court overturn the marriage amendment based on its unconstitutionality.

Come be apart of this march. Last November, we had over 400 people. We need to make this event much bigger.

Invite everyone you know.

Bring signs, banners, posters, people.

We will have a speaker at the beginning of the rally and at the end of it as well. We need to show our government that we are not going away. We will fight for our equality and this problem is not just going to be swept under the rug.


LIGHT UP THE NIGHT FOR EQUALITY | DECEMBER 20, 2008 | 5PM
WHAT IS IT?
On December 20th, we ask that you join us again for a nation-wide demonstration that will make an impact on the private sector. Candlelight vigils will be held at commercial centers in cities across the country in remembrance of the rights that once were for 18,000 marriages, and in honor of the rights that one day will be again - for EVERYONE.
HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Please take to your local commercial district at 5PM--be it a shopping mall, outdoor financial center, you name it.
  • This will be a peaceful demonstration in the spirit of the holidays.
  • We'll dress alike: make or buy a "Second Class Citizen" t-shirt.
  • This will be the culmination of our National Food Drive for Equality event (see below for details)
 WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

  • Hosting peaceful candlelight vigils
  • We will stay silent unless asked a question, we will not yell, instigate, or bare signs. Instead, we will let our shirts do the talking and our candles pay our respects.Bring candles (battery powered if you'll be huddling inside).
  • Singing and/or silence encouraged...chanting is not....keep it peaceful and in the holiday spirit.

I can respect that you want to have a "peaceful" vigil and many of the candle light vigils I've been on are very "quiet" and maybe that's just how they are done...but what I don't get is why chanting or even being loud (not necessarily at this event) is considered not being peaceful. Loud and proud is NOT a violent act. Being assertive about your rights is NOT being violent. Just want to make that point because I've been at "silent' protests and they are just that "silent"...no one has to listen and few do. I hope the t-shirts can be read from afar.
