LIGHT UP THE NIGHT FOR EQUALITY | DECEMBER 20, 2008 | 6PM EST
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 6PM--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.

Here is TOM GREENE's speech.. in entirely: It was WONDERFUL: Note may need more than one note: My computer won't start page.

People around the country and the world are gathering and standing together- today We're here to join them in this collective moment (e.g. 1:30 PM there) in a moment of silence.To remember the passage of Proposition 8 in California and to say.. our thoughts and praryers are with those who lost homes and loved ones last night during the devastating storms in our state.

Moment of Silence for Both.

Thank you.

We gather here today in this Peaceful Rally for Love, for Fairness, and for Justice.
to send a message to North Carolina that this rally is more than just rebuke of the passage of Proposition 8 in California. We gather not ONLY for the people of California who lost their Right to marry or the setbacks in Arizona, Arkansas, and Florida.
But to stand together in North Carolina..(Cheers) (to say our time has come for equality in our state,) No more no less.

As a gay man I want to thank you for your dedication to this cause of Equality and Justice. My name is Tom Greene, one of co-organizers along with Will Elliot and John Visser, (cheers) We welcome you to our States Capitol the seat of Government where we are going to send our message loud and clear to our state and nation:
That the time for injustice is over. I want to welcome you as my friends, my brothers and sisters, in the fight for freedom. Today we stand together as the proud members of the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender and Queer community with our Allies, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, and say as one people, with ONE voice, on ONE accord that
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST US MUST END NOW. Not two or four years in the future but now, this day, this time.
