Tzedek, Tzedek Tirdof: Harvey Milk Day of Action
"I know that you can't live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living." -Harvey Milk
Nationally, thousands of activists, allies and community members are organizing local actions to demand full federal equality for LGBTQI people on Harvey Milk Day and the International Week Against Homophobia. In New York , the march begins at the LGBT Center in Manhattan with rallies along the way including Union Square, St. Vincent's Hospital, Army Recruiting Center, Marriage Bureau and finally ending at City Hall. The aim is to highlight the many ways that LGBTQI people are oppressed, targeted and exploited in society. From hate crimes to discrimination, and to specifically demand the passage of ENDA, and the repeal of DOMA and DADT.
March, this Saturday, May 22, meeting at the LGBT Center at 12PM.
