On January 10th Join The Impact is calling on Obama to fulfill his campaign promises for LGBTQ equality. We will take to the streets once again to demand what we deserve: Full equality!

People will be gathering in cities across the country at 10:30 AM (Pacific Time) to rally for the repeal of the discriminatory Federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). DOMA Wrote discrimination into the Constitution.

Obama needs to keep his campaign promises and repeal DOMA. We need to hold him to his promises.

UCC ministers in Ashland will not sign marriage licenses for anyone until they can sign licenses for everyone. They will no longer discriminate and sign licenses for opposite sex couples until all couples are afforded the same opportunity. They believe that gay and lesbian couples believe in the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Now is the time! Stand up for marriage equality!


November 15, 2008 Prop 8 Protest at Vogel Plaza, Medford Oregon
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.
