This Sunday, starting at 5pm, at the Hollywood Lutheran Church (map: http://bit.ly/23GPdu), Arts for Equality will be holding a benefit for Equality Network, to help raise money for the repeal of Proposition 8. Called “A Wedding for All,” this music variety show will infuse world beats with local artists and a little comedy flavor. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at aweddingforall.com.

Tickets pre-sale or at the door are $10, but if you bring a package of baby diapers (any size), you’ll receive free entry to the show!

That’s because the Equality Network is launching the Equality Network Foundation, the first project of which is the Los Angeles Diaper Bank.

Did you know that children’s diapers are not covered under any government relief programs, and that babies and toddlers, if changed regularly, can go through over $100 worth of diapers a month? For families living in poverty, this is an unbearable burden, and some children are forced to live in soiled diapers for days a time, leaving them at risk for not only deadly infections, but also abuse from constant crying.

This is a huge problem in poverty-stricken households, and one that has almost no attention. Equality Network Foundation is taking a stand to remind everyone that All Families Matter – from gay to straight, poor to wealthy, we all deserve the dignity of marriage, and the most basic of all needs covered.

Please join us for wedding cake, a champagne toast, and an evening of music and charity.
