town hall meeting with hrc
president
The Cimarron Alliance Foundation (CAIF) announced that Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) will be in
Oklahoma City for a Town Hall Meeting, Thursday, June 8, at Mayflower
Congregational Church, 3901 N.W. 63rd Street, beginning at 7:00 p.m.
The Human Rights Campaign, a 25-year-old, national organization with
more than 650,000 members and a $30 million budget, is the nation's
largest civil rights organization dedicated to achieving gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) equality.
Taking the helm of the Human Rights Campaign in the spring of 2005,
Solmonese's vision for equality is clear: taking the fight for equality not
only to the floor of Congress, but to the kitchen table, to factory floors
and to church pews.
Committed to making clear that nobody has a monopoly on religion,
Solmonese launched HRC's new Religion and Faith program. The program provides resources for GLBT and straight-supportive people of
faith while combating those who use religion as a weapon.
Most recently, HRC began an initiative for mobilizing straight supporters
to help build a broad coalition of voters who support fairness.
Last fall, HRC led a strategic political and lobbying effort that resulted in
the historic passage of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender-inclusive
hate crimes legislation in the House of Representatives. Not only was it
the first time the House ever passed a hate crimes bill protecting our
community, but it was the first time either chamber of Congress ever
passed legislation that specifically included gender identity.
For more information regarding the Town Hall meeting, please call the
Cimarron Alliance Foundation at 405.495.9300.
