For Immediate
Release (August 8, 2013) 

        Join us on August 17, 2013 for the
worldwide “I Am Equality Campaign” launched by the EqualityTV Network. We will
be in 14 cities and 5 countries on Saturday, August 17th to kick off
the inaugural photo campaign. The “I Am Equality” campaign is a multimedia PSA which exposes people around the world to visual representations of
what our families, communities, and neighbors look like and what they intend to
do to make the world a better place.

        Founder, Lisa Mae Brunson, created the
campaign in an effort to educate and inspire people to recognize that ‘normal’
comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, abilities, ages and geographic
locations. “When we can demonstrate diversity and acceptance of all life then
we will embrace true Equality.” Ms. Brunson states. The campaign also asks
participants: “What will YOU do to make ‘Equality Go Viral?’ and inspires an
important call to action.

        The Free Photo campaign will be held in
cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, Bay Area, New York, Austin,
Phoenix, Toronto, Australia, New Zealand and other cities. As of 8-11-2013, Ms.
Brunson was contacted by a company in Ekaterinburg, the fourth largest city in Russia, who wants to sponsor an
“I Am Equality” Campaign event. “I couldn’t be more thrilled!” Ms. Brunson states.
“Whether or not we are able to make this event happen in Russia, the efforts
towards achieving equality start with seeds being planted, and we have planted
seeds for change in Russia!”

        Ms. Brunson teamed up with a variety of
award-winning photographers, organizations and inspired individuals around the
globe to produce this worldwide event. She has partnered with the Australian
Marriage Equality to create a Sydney, Australia event hosted by Sydney's Member
of Parliament, Alex Greenwich, who is the co-founder of the Australian Marriage
Equality and the FIRST gay married MP of Australia. Other campaign photographers
include Lady Gaga’s former tour photographer, Richard Yagutilov in Toronto, Equality
Photographer, Amy Mayes in New York, visionary photographer, Rachel Wolfe in
Los Angeles, Portrait photographer, Steve Gatlin in San Rafael and ‘Anything
but Ordinary’ photographer Maree Turner in Christchurch, New Zealand.

        Steve Gatlin is an award-winning
photographer, documentary filmmaker and creator of The Beauty Project—a
photographic campaign and documentary series that celebrates the human form in
all its original glory. Both a compelling and controversial campaign, The
Beauty Project is art that incorporates light, motion and form into one
riveting series. Steve is also the proud father of a baby born with Downs
Syndrome and created the website www.iamnotsorry.com in response to the stigma that
surrounds children born with Downs Syndrome and the societal pressure to abort
children who test positive for the gene. Steve adds: “I wanted to create a
platform for other parents to celebrate their decision to keep their children,
regardless of what challenges we may face as parents having children with
special needs.” Steve is excited to be one of the first photographers to be
part of the worldwide “I Am Equality” Campaign and has partnered with the Youth
in Arts organization, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing
students with experiences and instruction in the visual and performing arts,
and to enrich the community with cultural events. www.thebeautyproject.com and www.youthinarts.org

        The mission of the “I Am Equality”
Campaign is to celebrate self-expression to educate and inspire people to
embrace diversity, culture and equality within communities, families and individuals
across the globe. Ms. Brunson adds, “We believe that to create global awareness
and inspire people to celebrate differences we must be exposed to new
ideas.  People all over the world
represent one important connection: We are all human. We want to know what
people are doing to make sure we live in a world where Equality can exist.” 

        By declaring “I Am Equality” you are not
only representing who you are in the world, but impacting generations with a
message that “in order to accept others, we must celebrate who we are every
day!” EqualityTV embraces and celebrates individuality and equality for all. We
are “Celebrating Humanity!”

        You
can be a part of making “Equality Go Viral” by
participating in having your photo taken at various locations around the world.
Our San Rafael, California event will be held from 1 pm – 4 pm at Youth in Arts,
917 C Street, San Rafael, California 94901

        Participants
