Ask your friends and family to make the onePLUS! PLEDGE

The Tennessee Equality Project invites you to participate in the onePLUS! campaign. TEP's Shelby County Committee officially launched the campaign at the Memphis premiere of 8: The Mormon Proposition at MGLCC's Outflix yesterday, but the entire state of Tennessee can participate!

The onePLUS! campaign provides every member of the LGBT community the opportunity to increase the visibility of our community and the support we receive from our straight allies.

We are each one vote, plus every family member, friend, coworker, and employer who supports our right to equal protection under civil law. We are each ONE, PLUS!

Make a personal list of family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers who support you. Then send this link to each person on your list to ask them to pledge their support for LGBT equality in your community.

With your help we can increase awareness and increase support for the advancement of equality and fairness.

TEP's Shelby County Committee needs volunteers to help gather onePLUS! pledges at this Saturday's Cooper Young Festival to prepare for the return of a employment non-discrimination ordinance in the City of Memphis. Click our Facebook event to volunteer .
