#EQUALJUSTICE Marriage Equality Music Video


Marriage equality advocates have a lot to be thankful for this year, starting with the Supreme Court’s historic rulings overturning the Defense of Marriage Act and California’s Proposition 8 in 2012, and continuing with victories in state houses and ballot measures across the country.

Ten out of the 16 states now sanctioning same sex unions have started doing so in the past year, creating a sense of momentum and inevitability for the marriage equality cause. Unfortunately, a number of states still oppose extending the rights and privileges of matrimony to all loving couples.

#EQUALJUSTICE celebrates the march of LGBTQ civil rights and urges us all to keep speaking out until everyone is able to marry the person they love.

To get involved in the movement for marriage equality, visit Human Rights Campaign’s Marriage Center online, and follow the National Coalition for Marriage Equality on Facebook.

Volunteers made #EQUALJUSTICE possible

Volunteers from the Seattle Men’s Chorus provided much of the creative talent behind #EQUALJUSTICE. Audio recording space was donated by Seattle Unity Church. Studio space for filming was made possible by Seattle Community Media at North Seattle Community College. Producing this song and music video were only possible with the efforts of hundreds of volunteer hours from ChangeStream Media supporters.
