Join St. John's MCC at the Equality March in Washington DC

March with St. John's MCC and other MCCs
in Washington, DC

National Equality March

On Sunday, October 11th, there will be a huge National Equality March in Washington DC. Thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their supporters will March in Washington DC culminating in rally at the US Capitol steps. We will march together to show that we want to be treated as equal citizens across all areas of American life.

The MCC church elders have asked MCCs across the country to come to Washington and march together each carrying the banners from our local churches. It will be a great statement to see banners from hundreds of MCC churches from most of the 50 states all together in one group.

My partner Rich and I will be going to DC and bringing the St. John's banner with us and will serve as the coordination point for St. John's MCC. At this time, the exact route of the march and the MCC gathering area has not yet been determined. We do know the March will start October 11th around noon and end with the rally at the US Capitol building around 2:00 PM. I suspect we should be gathering around 11:00 AM.

If you plan on being in Washington DC and would like to March in the St. John's MCC contingent, please e-mail me, Stan Kimer, StanK@StJohnsMCC.org, and then I can e-mail you all the details once I know them. In addition, if you need to get in touch with me in DC, my cell phone is 919-215-5761.

With enthusiastic anticipation,
