Breaking: Updated Rally Times/Additional Rallies Added!
Overwhelming response to Friday's pending Supreme Court ruling leads to additional rallies in Decorah and Dubuque!
Waterloo/Cedar Falls rally time moved to 3:00 PM Friday, April 3rd.
--------------------------
We need every voice, every body!
In less than 24 hours, the Iowa Supreme Court will decide whether committed gay and lesbian couples will win the freedom to marry in Iowa! We're hopeful to gather tomorrow evening in celebration of a historic ruling that will ensure that all Iowa families are treated fairly. Win, lose, or draw, our community and allies must come together to share in this historic moment and prepare for what lies ahead. Join us at your local rally!
Rallies are hosted by One Iowa, the state's largest LGBT advocacy organization, dedicated to supporting full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals living in Iowa through grassroots education and advocacy.
Co-sponsors: Iowa Coalition Against Sexual Assault, Iowa Pride Network, ACLU of Iowa, I'M for Iowa, Marriage Equality USA - Iowa Chapter, Iowa Planned Parenthood Affiliate League, Freedom to Marry, PFLAG National, AIDS Project of Central Iowa, Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Lambda Legal, Interfaith Alliance of Iowa, Human Rights Campaign
