On Sunday, October 11, National Coming Out Day, hundreds of thousands of supporters of equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people will march on Washington, D.C. The demand of the march is simple: Full equality under the law for all LGBT people.

October 11th - A Grassroots Effort
Like the massive demonstrations organized by Join the Impact across the country on November 15th after Prop 8 passed in California, this will primarily be a grassroots effort. No gala events, no high profile celebrities, no fundraising dinners. Thus, the onus will be upon local groups to organize and carry out this event, ensure that each congressional district is represented, and facilitate a huge showing of numbers in Washington to force the White House and Congress to act!

If you think you can help spread the word in your school, workplace, neighborhood, church, or community group, please contact us at jointheimpacttc@gmail.com.

We have waited long enough on the sidelines while passively begging for our rights. There is a growing feeling that LGBT rights are going to be pushed to the side unless we mobilize to demand full equality! We can't wait for rights to be handed to us. Like every civil rights movement in the past, it's our job to put pressure on the politicians to end all discriminatory laws. Organizers all over the country are beginning to mobilize their communities for the march. People are already reserving plane tickets and chartering buses. Let's get started building in the Twin Cities, for what will hopefully be the largest day of action for gay rights in U.S. - and world - history!
