Equality Across America Information! Equality Across America formed following the National Equality March in October 2009, in which 200,000 people descended on Washington, DC from every corner of the country with scarcely any help from the established Gay-Rights groups. Fed up with the decades-old failed strategy of lobbying "friendly" politicians and high-dollar, politically cowardly campaigns that still fail to beat back right-wing assaults, activists today must demand what is right-full equality in every state, city and town-and build a fighting organization that can win. This meeting is a response to the call to unite the post-Prop 8 generation of activists in the first-ever grassroots, independent and nation-wide LGBT federation in US history. As a first step, EAA Regional Conferences are working on coordinated actions all across the country on Harvey Milk Day. We invite you, your friends, and your organization to participate, endorse this meeting, build this network, and plan San Diego's Harvey Milk Day action!

LGBT Omnibus Bill Proposed? Have you heard about the Equality & Religious Freedom Act? Conceived by philanthropists Juan Ahonen-Jover and Ken Ahonen-Jover of eQualityGiving, it is an ambitious sweeping bill that will place all of the major civil equality issues before Congress at once, rather than piecemeal. Included in this bill:
A. Equal Employment Opportunity
B. Fair Housing
C. Places of Public Accommodation
D. Use of Public Facilities
E. Equal Credit Opportunity
F. Federally Funded Programs or Activities
G. Education
H. Disability
I. Marriage Equality and Religious Freedom
J. Hate Crimes
K. Armed Forces
L. Immigration - Uniting American Families
This draft omnibus LGBT equality bill is intended to serve as a starting point for discussion about what full LGBT equality might look like from a legislative perspective.
This concept has obviously not been generated from the professional LGBTs (no doubt, because they deem it impractical), but given the queasiness of Congress, even when we do have the majority, why not consider the whole ball of wax and force open debate on each area of equality we have been fighting for?
