This post on tonight’s marriage equality rally in DC comes from HRC Media Center Intern Arthur Hartnett.
Last week and over the weekend, HRC staff and volunteers were out in full force spreading the word about tonight’s rally for marriage equality in the District of Columbia at 7pm on at the Kennedy Recreation Center. All around the city, people are excited about supporting equal rights for all loving couples. The winter weather hasn’t dampened spirits in the slightest and the anticipation is palpable in the air!
The DC Council is expected to pass the marriage equality bill a second time tomorrow morning and though Mayor Fenty has pledged to sign the bill into law, we still need as many voices as possible showing support for equality! LGBT people and our allies are excited for a win in this hard fought battle but we need your support TONIGHT.
The rally is set for this evening, Monday, December 14, starting at 7 pm. The Kennedy Recreation Center is located at 1401 7th ST, NW Washington, D.C. Stay tuned here to www.hrcbackstory.org in the coming days as we update you on the legislation.
