Equality Across America

Equality Across America (EAA) extends solidarity to Dan Choi and all those arrested from GetEqual in San Francisco and Washington DC taking action to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell and to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. We call upon all members and allies to demand the immediate release without charges of Choi and his collaborators, including Capt. Jim Pietrangelo. According to pre-trial services in Washington, D.C., they will be arraigned Friday afternoon and charged with "failing to obey a lawful order."

Further, as last weekend's EAA Midwest regional gathering of nearly 300 expressed, there are at least hundreds, if not thousands, ready and willing to take coordinated action for full equality. Let's plan and mobilize together for full equality—in unity there is strength! Post your solidarity and other actions at the Actions link below.

Equality Across America (EAA) is a national network of grassroots activists fighting for full federal equality in all matters of civil law in all 50 states for all LGBT people. Inspired and initiated by many of the organizers of the 200,000-strong National Equality March on Washington on October 11, 2009, EAA aims to provide a strategy, common calls to action and support for existing and newly forming groups in all 435 congressional districts. Because LGBT people come from all racial, ethnic, national, class and other backgrounds, we believe that winning full equality is inconceivable without building solidarity with all groups—regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. We encourage all grassroots activist groups that support full LGBT equality to affiliate with EAA. In unity there is strength!
