ENC News for October 29, 2009

From The Editor

Time gives way to deadlines.

The 2009 Equality Conference and Gala is only two weeks away, and early-bird registration ends this weekend. Register now to get the discount on both the best information on LGBT issues and a wonderful celebration of this year's successes. Gala entertainment will include the fabulous cabaret duo of Kevin and Greg.

Marriage equality in Maine is up for popular vote next week, and they need help! You can do phone banking from your home at your convenience during the last four days. This is valuable grassroots experience that you can then use here in North Carolina.

Any moment that discrimination exists is one too many. Learn how to help implement nondiscrimination policies where you work.

Finally, you can still apply for an internship with us in 2010.

(There are many ways to help achieve equality and justice. Giving money is fast and easy: Click here to support ENC's work for equality.)

See you in two weeks to work for/educate about equality,
