Wicked in Support of Equality Across America March in DC

Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz made a statement this weekdn during Sunday’s March for Equality in Washington DC, along with “Sex and the City” actress Cynthia Nixon and musician Lady Gaga. The event was also supported by Wicked and led by producer David Stone, as well as the Broadway cast of “Hair,” as the stars in the front held up the Broadway banner as they walked down the street. The event was in support of equal protection for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states and took place October 10-11, 2009.

Here’s what is posted on the Equality Across America site:

Equality Across America is a network of decentralized organizers in every one of the 435 Congressional districts. These organizers form Congressional District Action Teams (CDATs) that will do the work on the ground in their own communities to achieve full equality.

Each CDAT works not only toward national equality, but participates in their local and state struggles for equality in areas like marriage, adoption, and work-place discrimination. Equality Across America connects organizers from around the country so we can support one another in all of our work, focusing energy and resources in battlegrounds when needed.
