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.

| <if this is not filled in, we still need organizers. Add your info here if you are interested> | 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! | ||||

I am disabled and will not be able to attend the rally this Saturday but I wish you the best and hope you get a large turn out. While I am a flaming heterosexual, I believe that folks should be allowed to live their lives freely. I worked in a number of bars and restaurants back in the seventies and eighties and knew many gay folks. I found them to be no different than any other people and a sight better than some. My very best wishes to you. I'll be there in spirit.
