Take Action
Please help us end the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy so that gays and lesbians can serve honestly in our military.
We must get the DADT repeal through Congress. Congress members respond to their constituents – that means you, and the people you influence – and to the media. So we have plans to influence Congress both directly and indirectly with your help.
Contact Congress
We have over 170 congressional co-sponsors for the DADT repeal law (the Military Readiness Enhancement Act, or MREA). We need 218. Find out where your representative stands and how to contact him/her by going to SLDN’s website: http://www.sldn.org/content/pages/1542/.
Donate to Knights Out
Donating to Knights Out helps support our efforts to lift the policy. Specifically, your donations help to (1) maintain and update our website; (2) send spokesperson LT Dan Choi to events where he can educate and motivate the public about our issues; and (3) support Knights Out participation in major events like San Francisco Pride and the Washington, DC, March for Equality, where major media cover our story and build awareness for our cause.
Make a statement – and influence others.
You can help educate and motivate others to be part of this movement.
- Sign Senator Gillibrand’s petition.
- Buy and wear Knights Out apparel to start conversations.
- Screen “In Their Boots: Silent Partners” with your church or local community group. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) if you want an “Out Knight” to come to your group!)
Join Knights Out at events
When people see Knights Out in force at events like San Francisco Pride and the Washington, DC, March for Equality, it draws attention to the reality that gays and lesbians have served our country honorably, and motivates them to fight DADT. Join us to help make that point more strongly.
Watch the Knights Out front page for information on the upcoming March for Equality in Washington, DC, and other events.
