National Equality March Home Page
« See All Washington DC Events
On October 10-11, 2009, we gather in Washington, D.C. from all across America to let our elected leaders know that now is the time for equal rights for LGBT people. We will strategize. We will march. And we will leave energized and empowered to do the work that needs to be done in every community across the nation. This is only the beginning.
