Camp Courage

Camp Courage is building a grassroots army for marriage equality.  Camp Courage is an intensive two-day training designed to teach the principles and skills of community organizing to activists working on marriage equality.

Inspired by the "Camp Obama" trainings that powered neighbor-to-neighbor organizing across America in 2008, Camp Courage teaches empowerment, team building, leadership development, and grassroots organizing skills.

Testimony: Take a Stand

From "Don't Ask. Don't Tell" to California's Prop 8 trial (Perry V. Schwarzenegger), historic trials on LGBT equality are happening across America right now and only a handful of people get to testify. If you could Take A Stand, what would you say? What would your Testimony be?

Testimony seeks to create a map of stories from LGBT Americans and allies across the country. In collaboration with partner organizations, and using the stories of the American public, Testimony seeks to show the shift in public acceptance of gays and lesbians as many of these equality cases make their way to the Supreme Court.

In 2011, Testimony: Take a Stand will give us all the chance to testify to the destructive power of discrimination and about the joys of full equality. These stories are the foundation for true and lasting equality in the court of public opinion, for the bonds that strengthen families and communities, and are an essential antidote for the animus and isolation that opponents of equality relentlessly cultivate.
