I let out a big ol’ sigh of non-relief when I read this. From Bilerico:
Kip Williams and Robin McGehee, Co-Directors of the National Equality March, have left Equality Across America citing differences about the direction the new group should take.
. . . Everyone involved agreed that the parting of ways resulted from concerns about financial security and the leadership of the new organization.
“We’re still not sure this is a viable organization,” Jones said. “It’s still not clear to me that EAA is going to happen yet. There needs to be a working group to take EAA forward.
In his resignation, Williams wrote: “I’m moving on from EAA for personal and professional reasons. First, I need more security in my life, because I worked on the march for less than minimum wage and without health insurance/ Second, I share with EAA the goal of full federal equality, but I have different ideas about the road to get there.”
And McGehee wrote: “Although I am equally driven in my desire for full federal equality, there are different directions that my life, both personally and professionally, are going and I have decided that I will no longer be able to serve with Equality Across America as this organization begins to take it’s next steps.”
