Seattle LGBT Equality March and Rally Events!
A moment like this only comes around once in a lifetime.
Whatever your sexual orientation or gender identity may be, the best way to ensure that all of our struggles for social and economic justice progress is to stand together in solidarity. As the old labor slogan so aptly expresses, “An Injury to One is an Injury to All.” This year, on the fortieth anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, on the thirtieth anniversary of the first LGBT March on Washington, on the ninetieth anniversary of the Seattle General Strike, and on the tenth anniversary of the Battle in Seattle, we are excited to build a grassroots movement for civil rights and equality for all, starting with APPROVING Referendum 71 and keeping domestic partnerships legal.
These are just some of the opportunities we have to spread the word about this historic event. If you are planning to go or if you want to volunteer to spread the word, please let us know and we can coordinate materials (getting you flyers, signup sheets, etc). Hand out flyers, talk to people about APPROVING Referendum 71, invite people to march with us, sign up volunteers: let’s be creative and build a movement for equality and justice for all!
