Rochester Activist Summit

Rochester is home to many dedicated activists and organizations, but sometimes it feels like we're fighting our struggles alone.

Rochester Rallys for Same-Sex Marriage Rights

Fifty-plus people held a rally at Rochester's Liberty Pole and then marched in the rain to City Hall and back in support of the right of same-sex couples to marry.

The original plan for the gathering was for a protest if Prop 8 was upheld, but plans were changed at the last minute to hold a march to City Hall. Last Sunday, Mayor Robert Duffy published an essay in support of same-sex marriage rights. The time was right to show that citizens supported him.
