On October 2nd 2010, we have the opportunity to make history.
On that day, the LGBTQ movement will join together with labor, civil rights, women’s, youth, environmental, immigrant, faith and peace communities as we all stand unified as One Nation Working Together (ONWT). Join over 30 local and national LGBTQ organizations and over 300 other progressive organizations as we demand equality for all, because everyone deserves equal access to jobs, justice, and education.
Local LGBT groups have arranged for Buses to take people down/bring them back from DC on the day of the march for only $10.00 round trip on Saturday, October 2nd 2010 leaving at 6:00 AM and returning at 11:00 PM to Union Square in Manhattan.
Paul from BiRequest, one of the NYC area's most respected long-time bisexual orginizers says:
Hey folks,
It totally makes sense for as many BI folks to join in this march . . . The list of supportive groups is long; a grand cross section of progressive and historically disjointed groups . . . all coming together under one mission.
Find a seat on the bus down from Union Square, or get there as you can, and call me from the Mall. I haven't decided if I'll march with the NYC LGBT Community Center or the Task Force.
Feel free to contact me if you have other questions..
Paul
ONE NATION WORKING TOGETHER is about reordering our nation’s priorities to invest in our most valuable resource – our people. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve the American Dream – a secure job, a safe home, and a quality education – but bankers and corporate lobbyists have made off with trillions of public dollars while small businesses can’t get loans and cities are laying off teachers, police, and firefighters.
In this time of economic crisis, it is easy for fear-mongerers to pit groups against each other and to find convenient scapegoats for the problems that plague us.
ONE NATION WORKING TOGETHER has a new story to tell and we want you to be a part of it. Sign up today and march with us in Washington, DC on 10-2-10 to create millions of good jobs, repair our immigration system, and reform Wall Street! Your voice is essential to demanding the change we voted for.
Organizations and individuals that are already involved with the One Nation Movement include 1199 SEIU, the NAACP, TWU Local 100, Bill Lynch & Associates, Harry Belafonte, Danny Glover, Rev. Al Sharpton, and many more.
