March this Saturday for Marriage Equality
http://www.meetinthemiddle4equality.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=59

Equality March ~ Sat May 30th
from Selma, CA to Fresno, CA

Leaders from the Civil Rights Movement, the United Farm Workers Movement and the Gay Rights Movement will March from Selma, CA to Fresno, CA in a symbolic sign of respect to the social movements before us.

This 14.5 mile march will take 5 hours and will arrive after the MITM rally has started, where rally participants will be anxiously awaiting the march arrivals.


About the Selma March


This march pays a symbolic sign of respect to the social movements before us. If your group would like to be represented in this march - please, email us your organization's name and we will send details about check-in needs, when and where to be on that FIRST Saturday AFTER the Prop 8 verdicts, etc. This march is the morning kick-off for the Meet in the Middle for Equality event.

The march will arrive at Fresno's City Hall at aproximately 1pm - the start time of the Meet in the Middle Rally. We are asking that unless you REALLY have the desire to march, that only 1 representative from your organization be present. We have been advised by the UFW's March Organizers that the more people we have, the longer the march will take. We will be escorted by CA Highway Patrol on Northbond Golden State Highway.

People who arrive early, and want to meet us at the Railroad Avenue and Van Ness Avenue intersection at the "Welcome to Fresno" sign, should feel free to join us for the last hour of the march in to Fresno. But, please be aware that your car will be 2.5 miles away from City Hall, after the conclusion of the rally, unless you have made previous plans

2. This is awesome !!!!
I just found out tonight. I wish I still lived in CA and could go.

I am so glad they finally, finally, finally realize you can't ignore the Central Valley, cause it WILL affect you.

I hope so many people go to this march. It doesn't cost much to stay in Fresno.

There are so great places to eat.. on the Fulton Mall in downtown, and of course you have to support
Tower District. It has been the gay area for decades and decades. and we all co-exist and co-habitat.
No hate going on in the Tower.
