Reminder: Rock the Dome in Harrisburg on Tuesday, March 17

Did you know that in most areas across Pennsylvania it is completely legal to fire someone from their job because of their sexual orientation or gender identity or expression?

Join us in the Pennsylvania Statehouse on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 to raise our voice and pass legislation to protect LGBT Pennsylvanians against discrimination!

The agenda for the day:
11:30- FREE lunch and Mini-Lobbying Training at St. Michael's Church (118 State Street, Harrisburg)
1:00- RALLY in the ROTUNDA
1:30- Lobbying your State Legislators

Buses will be leaving from both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in the morning, and will return that evening.

FREE bus ride, FREE lunch, FREE lobby training, and AWESOME rally. This rally is being sponsored by the Value All Families Coalition-- a coalition of statewide, regional, and local organizations across Pennsylvania dedicated to achieving equality for LGBT people in the state.

As we confirm more details for the buses, we will post them here. Seats will be first-come, first-serve, so if you'd like to take the bus PLEASE message Jake Kaskey on here, or e-mail him at jkaskey@equalitypa.org. Please let me know how many seats you are reserving and from which city you're leaving from.

Involved with your student group on campus? FIELD TRIP! Involved with other groups on here? Send them this event! Please forward this information around to everyone interested in fairness and equality for LGBT people.


We have a momentum to really pass this important legislation that will affect thousands of LGBT people across the entire state. Together lets stand up, speak out, and make a difference in Pennsylvania!
