Tell the Senators: NO to the anti-gay Federal Marriage Amendment
The Senate just began debate on the anti-gay "Federal Marriage Amendment" (FMA) and bigots are attempting to bring it to a vote next week.
If passed, this would be a huge attack on equal rights for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered people. Join a protest on Monday to demand that Illinois's Senators vote NO to this discrimination!
12 Noon
Monday, July 12
Federal Plaza
Assemble at the corner of Adams & Dearborn
Followed by a march to the Senators' offices.
Join us as we deliver a message for equal marriage rights, in person, to both of Illinois's Senators.

IF the FMA comes to a vote in the Senate, we will hold an event at 7 pm the evening of the vote at Halsted & Roscoe Streets, Chicago. At that event we will either PROTEST if the Senate votes in favor of bigotry, or we will CELEBRATE if the FMA is defeated. On July 12 - 16, follow the news closely each day, and be prepared to ACT!
