Announcing the Launch of Circle Up
It's been an exciting and perhaps game-changing week for LGBT rights. This past weekend, of course, the National Equality March brought thousands to Washington, D.C. to stand up for equal rights. Sunday's march came on the heels of President Obama's Saturday night appearance at a Human Rights Campaign gala dinner, where he reiterated campaign pledges reiterating promises to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and the military's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy.
Earlier in the week, Atticus Circle put out its own call to action in the ongoing LGBT rights movement -- this time, a specific call for action on college campuses with the Circle Up Your Campus campaign. Between now and Election Day, Atticus Circle is encouraging LGBT individuals and straight allies to come together on campuses across the country and carry the momentum from the National Equality March.
