"Equality Across America (EAA) is a network of decentralized organizers
in every one of the 435 Congressional districts. These organizers form
Congressional District Action Teams (CDATs) that work within their own
communities to achieve full equality for LGBT Americans and their
families. EAA supports the following key pieces of legislation: the
Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), the Uniting American Families
Act (UAFA), the Repeal of Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), and the
Repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT). With members of every race,
class, faith, and community, EAA sees the struggle for LGBT equality as
part of a larger movement for peace and social justice. The National
Equality March (NEM) is being organized by EAA to show broad-based
support for full equality for LGBT Americans on the doorstep of those
who can make that happen – the United States Congress. The event will
be held Saturday, October 10, and Sunday, October 11, 2009 in
Washington, D.C. Each EAA Congressional District Action Team will
mobilize its community to attend the event. "
