"The Governor wants to cut the budget for public libraries by 50%. About 70% of public libraries in Ohio are funded solely by this fund, so cutting the already shrinking budget means library closures, layoffs and cutbacks in hours and materials.

We have until June 30th to get our voices heard. ACT NOW!"

Isaiah Washington has joined the NO H8 campaign for marriage equality!

Although the former Grey's Anatomy star was released from a very poor choise of words, he claims "what has been purported about me has nothing to do with who I am."

The actor is participating in the powerful photo shoot - and video - with duct tape over his mouth, symbolizing voices not being heard, and NO H8 painted on one cheek.

Equality for all!
