World renowned human rights activist Cleve Jones is calling for a National March on Washington D.C. on OCTOBER 11, 2009, to demand full equality for all people in all matters governed by civil law. As tax paying citizens working within the largest tourist industry in New York City, it is now time for the members of our great theatre community and all of our fans to realize the power our collective voice holds and use it to call out to the world.

Join Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, BroadwayImpact, The Cast of HAIR, and The Public Theater on August 28th at 2:30 pm for a community-wide mobilization meeting at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.

For one afternoon, we will join together to discuss ideas and propose ways in which we can all help spread the word about this historic moment for the marriage equality movement.

If we can come together with specific, positive actions and send a clear message to the world that we will not stand for injustice and inequality on or off Broadway, within any of our theatres, nor anywhere else in our vast community all across the country, then we will truly begin to effect great change!

This is our time to take the lead on the road to equality. Please join us as we hear our own leaders from every corner of our industry speak about what can be done, NOW.

Cleve Jones himself will be there to kick things off. Other speakers include, Public Theater Artistic Director Oskar Eustis, Producer David Stone (Wicked, Next to Normal, Spelling Bee), veteran Broadway Stage Manager Nancy Harrington, two time Tony nominee and co-founder of BroadwayImpact Gavin Creel, and many others.

Come get fired up and help make sure that for the next six weeks everyone within this great community is doing whatever they can to let the world know about OCTOBER 11, 2009. Tell EVERYONE!
