Register to learn more about the Equality Act and Keshet’s campaign to encourage lawmakers to support this life-saving legislation. Join us for this session, and be proactive and present to spend some of our time during this session performing a direct action and contacting our legislators about the need for the Equality Act! ** Regarding participation, Jon is planning to send postcard packets via mail to anyone who signs up in advance… so please sign up asap. People who want to have their postcards present during the session will obviously need to be signed up in time for the mail to arrive. If they live local in Ft Lauderdale, and sign up by Tuesday morning, Jon will try to deliver the packets himself. Otherwise, people who sign up later or don’t get the postcard packet in time will still be able to participate because there will be an email component as well. So please sign up now!
