Frankfort --- The Kentucky Fairness Alliance and the Fairness Campaign will co-host Kentuckians Value Fairness, a rally for a fair Kentucky on February 22.

WHO: The Kentucky Fairness Alliance, the Fairness Campaign, and allied organizations
WHEN: February 22, 2007, 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

With over 10,000 members, the Kentucky Fairness Alliance seeks to advance equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people through leadership development, public education and by encouraging participation in the democratic process.
The Fairness Campaign is a broad-based community effort dedicated to equal rights. Its primary goal is comprehensive civil rights legislation prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The Fairness Campaign accomplishes its goals through public education and advocacy, political activity, community building and reciprocal alliances with others in the social justice community.
The Ampersand symbolizes the solidarity we are building through Friends & Family, and suggests the inclusiveness we are working toward. It reflects the idea that no one individual, legislator, organization, or city can carry all the water for equality. Our success lies in our solidarity.
