This Wednesday: WHY WE MARCHED

WHY WE MARCHED

Panel / Report-back from the National Equality March

Wednesday, Oct. 21, 7:00 PM
Pharmacy Building 2.110

On October 11, hundreds of thousands marched on Washington to demand equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Come and hear students and activists report back from this historic event, featuring participants and video from the National Equality March.

The march is just the beginning. We have stated our demand for equal rights on the doorsteps of those who have the power to make it so. But our work must continue until we have achieved our goal: full equal protection in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states. Whether you rallied in DC, Austin, or have yet to get involved, join us.

We have only just begun to fight.

Texans--Let's Meet Up in Washington !

Join the Impact-Austin is proposing a couple of Meet-Ups in Washington this weekend. We would especially love it for all to come together in one big Texas-sized contingent in Sunday's march to show the world that Texas is out, proud and fighting for LGBT liberation.

SATURDAY

JtI-Austin members are planning to meet up on Saturday at 4:30-6:30 pm an event featuring Cleve Jones and Sherry Wolf. Come and meet up and hear what promises to be a lively and exciting forum featuring activists in the forefront of this rising movement.

Details are here.

* UPDATE - On Saturday, after the Cleve Jones event there will be a Texas LGBTQA Activist Networking Meet-up at Vapiano's in Chinatown (5-10 min walk from the Cleve event).

SUNDAY -- Join the Texas contingent in the march.

Meet up at 10:00 AM outside the Madison Hotel, 1177 15th St. NW.

Map here.

It looks like it's a close walk from the Farragut North stop on the Red Line of DC's Metro train system. (Note they're planning major construction on the Green and Yellow lines this weekend.)

This is close to the gathering area for the march, which is to kick off at Noon. We'll have a Texas banner as well as the Texas Queermadillo shirts for sale for $10.

See you in Washington !
