What is equality worth to your family? For as little as $3.33/day you can join the Protectors Circle, a group of leading supporters who share our vision of a world where all families are respected, loved and celebrated— especially families with parents who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or queer (LGBTQ). If you are renewing your support or signing up to join the Protectors Circle for the first time during Family eek, we would like to say thank you by inviting you and your family to our annual Clambake, a traditional New England lobster dinner for the whole family. To join the Protectors Circle, ask a Family Equality Council staff member toda . If you would like to RSVP for Clambake, please register here: www.familyequality.org/ clambake or contact Ian Patrick at [email protected].
