"All In For Equality" Advocacy Day in Austin

Monday, March 20  7:00 AM - 7:00 PM

Join us at one of this year's most empowering and important events. 

Hundreds from across the state are gathering to meet with our elected officials. We need you to be a voice for equality -- no experience necessary -- we will provide training on the bus ride to Austin and you'll be accompanied by an experienced group leader.

GALA is chartering motor coaches that will depart from West Plano and Dallas on Monday morning, March 20.

Our event co-sponsors include: Cathedral of Hope, Coalition for Aging LGBT, ACLU Texas, Resource Center, LULAC, Lambda Legal, Texas Freedom Network, Transgender Education Network of Texas, Human Rights Campaign, and Equality Texas.

Looking For Angels

People from across the state are gathering to meet with our legislators who will be considering what is expected to be 100+ anti-equality bills. 

GALA is working with North Texas groups to mobilize advocates to ensure our voices are heard in Austin.  Critical to this effort is the support that we receive from our Advocacy Day Angels who donate to cover expenses such as chartering the motor coaches, feeding attendees, and printing training materials.

Please consider becoming an Advocacy Day Angel today.  Our Angels are typically donating $100 but any amount helps us to achieve our goal.

Thank You to our Advocacy Day Angels

We want to add your name to our list today

Gather with fair-minded voters to meet candidates for city council, school board, and Collin College trustees. Be informed by knowing who represents us at the local level. This is just as important as knowing who represents us in Austin and Washington DC.

Beer, wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served.
