On SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, the day before the National Equality March, students and servicemembers will come together in Washington DC to call for an immediate end of Don't Ask Don't Tell-- the discriminatory policy that denies STUDENTS equal opportunity to participate in ROTC campus programming, and further, gain equal access to scholarships and funding.
This is a FLASH PROTEST. The exact time and location will be announced by TEXT MESSAGE on Saturday, which can be signed up for free at http://NEMstudents.org.
The protest will include the imagery of http://NoH8Campaign.com. We will be conducting a SILENT PROTEST to bring awareness to the inaction of our federal government to end DADT.
The protest will lead to George Washington University where we will END THE SILENCE with powerful speeches from individuals, including Todd Belok, a GW sophomore who was removed from his ROTC unit just last year... simply for being gay.

The FLASH PROTEST will be lead by the Students for the National Equality March, the Service Members Legal Defense Network, Servicemembers United, GW Veterans, NoH8Campaign.com, and many individuals, including Todd Belok, Lt. Dan Choi, and many others.
