HISTORIC PHOTO EVENT COMES TO SACRAMENTO
The ‘I AM EQUAL’ photo project shines light on human rights in state capitol

Sacramento, CA - 20 DEC. 2010 – The ambitious I AM EQUAL photo project will officially launch its 29 city, 2011 U.S. tour at The Citizen Hotel in downtown Sacramento on 6-JANUARY-2011 and open the doors to people of all walks of life who are stepping up for human rights & equality in our community and around the world.

“We’re excited to open this project in, what TIME Magazine has called, the most diverse city in the country,” explained project creator, Jason Beckett. “Mayor Johnson’s office has been instrumental in connecting us with all the different community leaders to ensure a successful event that truly represents the diversity of this city and we couldn’t be happier with the response.”

The I AM EQUAL photo project is open to the public from 11:00am through 9:00pm and more than 600 people are expected to participate in support of various causes related to human rights & equality. “We see people coming in support of children’s rights, or to end domestic violence,” explains project photographer, Matt Spencer. “There are some who are standing up for gay and lesbian issues, and others who are survivors of abuse or disease. Each person has a story and this project is here to empower people to stand up and tell their story.”
