Join the Impact - Promote Love and Equality

Having one national event a month will not drive this movement fast enough. So, while we will focus on one large event monthly to ensure that everyone has time to organize and publicize, we are going to put our focus on all avenues of outreach and education. Moving forward, we will not only stage events that focus on our demands for human rights, we will simultaneously reaffirm our commitment to those rights with outreach and volunteer efforts.

Our opposition is a loud minority filled with anger. Love will always be louder if we give it the podium to speak at. It’s time we use our greatest gift, the love that our community is based on, and give it the power to conquer hate and ignorance! We can no longer pin our group against another. Instead, we must reach out to all groups. Every time we touch someone’s life, we gain a confidant, a friend, and an ally. We must send our government a loud message while sending a message of humanity, generosity, and love to our neighbors.

Join The Impact - A National Success!

Gay rights supporters waving rainbow colors marched, chanted and danced in cities coast to coast Saturday to protest the vote that banned gay marriage in California as well as constitutional amendments in many stated to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman.  They also used the demonstrations to urge supporters not to quit the fight for the right to marry.

Crowds gathered near public buildings in cities large and small, from Boston to San Francisco, Chicago to Los Angeles, and every city in between to vent their frustrations, celebrate gay relationships and renew calls for change, demanding equal rights for all tax paying citizens, including the GLBT community.

“Civil marriages are a civil right, and we’re going to keep fighting until we get the rights we deserve as American citizens,” Karen Amico said in Philadelphia, holding up a sign reading “Don’t Spread H8″.

“We are the American family, we live next door to you, we teach your children, we take care of your elderly,” said Heather Baker a special education teacher from Boston who addressed the crowd at Boston’s City Hall Plaza. “We need equal rights across the country.”

Join the impact was a nationwide success and has brought the human rights movement to the forefront of national issues.

This is not about “gay” rights.  This is about equal rights for all citizens in this country.  The time has come for the nation which was build and fairness and equality to live up to its founding beliefs.

Those in opposition to equal rights for all citizens have made claim the majority of people have voted against extending equal rights to all citizens, but as it’s been made clear, this mob mentality is not only wrong, it’s un-American!
