Full Equality Now! DC is proud to announce two upcoming actions on marriage equality. Though it has become a reality in the District of Columbia, there are still 45 states where couples lack equal recognition and our opponents are fighting to take away our crucial victory here in Washington.

On Sunday, August 15, the National Organization for Marriage will be coming to Washington, DC as part of their summer bus tour. They are holding rallies all across the country in an attempt to slow the spread of equality. That stops here. Full Equality Now! DC is working with a coalition of local and national groups to host "The Big Commit," a ceremony where LGBTQ people and their allies can commit to working tirelessly until we have achieved full equality in every state and at the federal level. For more information on the Big Commit, please visit BigCommit.org. You can also RSVP to the Facebook event.

And on the day of the decision on the Proposition 8 cases in federal court, we will be coming together to ask the important question: Are We Next? This first decision of Perry v. Schwarzenegger will set the stage for the potential full scale realization of marriage equality in every state and at the federal level. We will either celebrate a victory at Bravo Bravo or rally in response to a loss at Judiciary Square. More information is available at the Facebook event page.

We at Full Equality Now! DC hope to see you at both of these exciting events. Please feel free to contact us with any questions about either event or to get involved in planning.
