A group of students, volunteers, and community members have organized an Approve 71 Thank You Rally in celebration of the November 3 victory for all Washington families. The event is on Saturday, November 14, from 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM, at Westlake Center Park in Seattle.
Anne Levison and Josh Friedes will speak on behalf of the Approve 71 Campaign. Lt. Dan Choi will give a keynote address, followed by other respected members of the community.
The community is eager to thank fair minded Washington voters and volunteers for their outpouring of support during the unusually short six week campaign.
Hundreds of volunteers called hundreds of thousands of voters at phone banks. They organized fundraisers, sign waving visibility events, house parties and more.
Because of this dedication to equality, Washington State made history on November 3. It was the first state to ever approve an expansion of LGBT equality at the ballot.
The domestic partnership expansion bill will go into effect on December 3, 2009. Once it does, same-sex couples will have access to all the same state rights and responsibilities as married couples.
