The National Day of Action (NDA) is part of the Equal Love Campaign.
This rally is held in the Melbourne CBD each year on the anniversary of the amendment introduced into Federal Parliament to make marriage between a man and a woman.
2007 National Day of Action
The NDA is Melbourne's mass rally in favour of same-sex relationship recognition. Three years ago, the Federal Parliament amended the Marriage Act to deny same-sex couples access to marriage. While we have achieved much at the state level with the proposed Relationships Register, as the recent report from the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission showed, there is still much inequality in a range of federal legislation.
In an election year - we must show federal candidates that we demand EQUAL LOVE!
When: 12 August 2007
Where: Assemble 11.30am in front of State Library
What: Rally to Federation Square for MidWinta Vows
Who: Bring yourself, your friends, your family, whoever!
Wear: Bright, festive and red colours!
Last year, almost 2,000 people rallied on State Parliament. This year, we can do better. So come out in your RED colours and join EQUAL LOVE on 12 August 2007.
We are seeking volunteers for the NDA
We are seeking a range of volunteers to assist with the day - from marshalls, to fundraisers, to general support. Can you help?
There will be an Equal Love Volunteers Briefing on Thursday 9 August 2007 from 6.30pm at the British Crown Hotel, Smith Street, Collingwood. Please come along and support your Lobby!
