Seven Straight Nights for Equal Rights
Atticus Circle and Soulforce are sponsoring Seven Straight Nights for Equal Rights, a national event that will provide straight Americans with opportunities to do justice and motivate new allies to stand up and be counted for equal rights.
Seven Straight Nights is a coordinated campaign of overnight vigils led by straight allies. It will sweep across cities throughout the nation during the Coming Out week of October 7-13, 2007, gaining momentum as more states participate in the event.
The vigils will be led by families, individuals, or groups, and focus on their personal decision to speak out on behalf of LGBT equality. Depending on the state, the leaders will either offer thanks for the state's positive policy record or issue a call to action on pertinent issues such as hate crimes, employment discrimination, and marriage equality.
For more information on the event and on organizing a Wisconsin effort, go to the Seven Straight Nights website.
