Equal Rights Washington 10-Year Anniversary Celebration

A full decade has passed since Equal Rights Washington began its campaign to promote equality for the LGBT community, and what a decade it has been.

ERW staff and supporters will be sipping champagne and enjoying hors d'oeuvres in commemoration of their successes. Everyone has the right to do that once in a while.

Tickets are $20, and you can throw a donation in on top of that if you feel so inclined.

ERW 10 Year Anniversary Celebration, Tue, June 3, 5:30–7:30 pm, Bertha Knight Landes Room at City Hall, 600 4th Ave, $20+.
