Knights Out

If you can’t march with Knights Out in San Francisco, please march with SLDN on Saturday June 27th.

Led by the fighting Cook v. Gates plaintiffs (service members discharged under DADT), SLDN and other community organizations, including Knights Out, will be marching to the White House on Saturday, June 27 to call upon President Obama to break his silence on “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

The first 265 marchers will be veterans and service members. This is the number of service members discharged since January 20 when the President took office. In addition, family and friends of service members will be attending to implore the president to lead the way with lawmakers to get repeal done in this Congress and to end discrimination in the military.  One doesn’t need to be a veteran or on active duty to show up and support our LGBT troops, one only needs to be committed to equality for all.

Together, we have a real opportunity to deliver a powerful message to the White House, Congress, and to the American people, and to let our service members know they have not been forgotten. Sign up at www.sldn.org/265 and represent!

If you don’t have one yet, it’s not too late to order a Knights Out t-shirt from .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or http://www.knightsout.org/store

Assembly is at Farragut Square at 2:00pm.  The group will march to the White House from there.
