We just received the following letter from Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid supporting the National Equality March. A press release to be issued soon. Thank you Derek Washington for your efforts in seeking this very important endorsement for the National Equality March.
[...] Dear Members of the National March for Equality Steering Committee: As you prepare to come to Washington, DC, for the National Equality March, I write to join in your commitment to ensure equality under the law. As Senate Majority Leader, I will continue to work tirelessly to pass the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act and the Employee Non-Discrimination Act, as well as to repeal the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy. I will also continue to advocate for funding of HIV/AIDS prevention treatment research and housing programs. I believe that every American should be treated equally under the law regardless of religion, sexual orientation, gender, race or other forms if identity. I see your struggle for equality as part of a larger movement for peace and social justice. My best wishes to you. Sincerely, Harry Reid United States Senator Nevada A PDF copy of the letter can be seen here: http://equalityacrossamerica.org/blog/?p=5265 [...]
