There is not much time left in this year's short session. Leaders of the General Assembly have already indicated that we could be just two weeks away until the legislature adjourns. We cannot let them run out the clock and not repeal the hateful and discriminatory HB2. We must now be louder than ever.
Join us at 6:30pm on Wednesday, June 22nd, in Raleigh as we "Stand against Hate". The event will be a vigil to honor those that we have lost in Orlando and a rally to protect the ones most vulnerable in our community. We will stand together to show our determination to fight against harmful legislation that impacts the lives of LGBTQ North Carolinians by calling for full repeal of HB2 and to pass much needed protections.
RSVP now for the "Stand against Hate" rally!
Though different in many ways, the victims of the Orlando shooting had one thing in common: they were simply trying to be who they were, live their lives, and enjoy the evening in what they thought was a safe space. The horrific events that followed mark not just the worst mass shooting in our nation’s history, but one of the worst attacks carried out against the LGBT community in the United States. Their lives will not be forgotten as we stand against hate!
RSVP now and "Stand against Hate" on Wednesday, June 22nd.
This is a crucial time. We must ensure that the NCGA leadership and Governor McCrory hear us. We must get loud!
In Solidarity,
Chris Sgro
Executive Director, Equality NC
