We will peacefully apply for marriage licenses and will be denied.

Everyone is welcome to participate: fiances, partners - allied supporters who will not apply also welcome to attend.

Join the Impact is partnering with the Metropolitan Community Church, which has courageously commemorated National Freedom to Marry Day for 8 years. 3 couples are pledged to apply from the MCC - the more the better the impact. Other churches and groups have also indicated their interest in participating this year.

A press conference will be held immediately following outside the Hall of Justice.

The Old Market 14th & Farnam

11:30 AM-whenever
We will be gathering to show the metro area that we are here! This may be a very conservative state but we will not go unheard! We will gather as many signatures as possible during the DOMA protest. Tell everyone you know to RSVP to my emai. The bigger the crowd the better! I hope we have a great turn out. I look forward to seeing everyone there!






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.

STILL NEED AN ORGANIZER - SIGN UP TODAY TO HELP!

Organizing is easy, but if you don't have an organizer in your city, get a group of 5-10 friends together, print out the Light Up the Night Holiday Cards, and head to your local mall and start passing them out. Don't forget to keep count of how many cards you passed out. There will be a place to report the numbers soon!
