Make Your Voice Heard at LGBT Equality & Justice Day!
On Tuesday, April 29, 2008 join hundreds of New Yorkers who will be
traveling to Albany to help win transgender non-discrimination
protections
http://www.transgenderlegal.org/headline_show.php?id=19, safe schools for LGBT youth, marriage equality and more funding for
our community's health and human services needs.
Last year more than 1100 people traveled from all across New York to
make sure that our elected officials in Albany saw first hand the
power and determination of our community and our allies. This year
will be even bigger. Be a part of this historic day.
Don't worry if you've never lobbied a legislator. Our partners at the
Empire State Pride Agenda
http://www.prideagenda.org/ will provide
you with the training you need. You can even get started now by
watching these training videos (video 1
, video 2
)! For some of you, going
to Albany means that you have to take a day off from work, and that
isn't always easy. But we won't win this civil rights struggle unless
we all come together at critical moments to show our community's
strength.
