CALL TO ACTION
"Students around the world have been at the forefront of movements to
promote democracy and human rights. Student movements have toppled powerful
dictatorships and military juntas. Student movements have ended wars. And
student activism has often served as the conscience for nations, reminding
people in times of turmoil of the founding ideals of their countries and the
aspirations of all people for justice, dignity, and equality." -Glenn Omatsu, Educator
The United States must end its system of Apartheid that continues to discriminate against LGBTQ Americans, denying equal opportunity to serve one’s country, denying the equal right to marry, and denying equal access to over 1,000 rights, benefits and protections granted to all American citizens.
We urge all students to converge on Washington D.C. on October 10th & 11th for the National Equality March. We urge our students, no matter their sexual orientation, to organize buses, planes and trains, so we may express our unity and unwavering commitment to freedom and equality. Now is the time to speak out against this outrage and now is the time to march side by side in a powerful show of force in the struggle for freedom.
