WHAT IS LIGHT UP THE NIGHT FOR EQUALITY?
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
WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

  • Hosting peaceful candlelight vigils
  • We will stay silent unless asked a question, we will not yell, instigate, or bear 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.

Our event is at 7pm

Proposition 8 in California taking away the rights of Gays and Lesbians to marry
Marriage bans in Arizona and Florida
Gay Adoption Ban in Arkansas

And in Michigan, not only are Marriage and Civil Unions constitutionally banned, but:
We do not have hate crimes protection
We do not have safe schools laws
We do not have comprehensive anti discrimination protection
HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment is seriously underfunded

It's time to stop putting our hopes into someone else's efforts. We have the opportunity to come together as a Campus, a Community, a State, and a Nation.

Join us At the Rock, 7pm November 15th, Nonviolently United in Anger.

Dr. Julie Nemecek, A transgender activist and Baptist minister will be speaking.
