Welcome to the Center's Digital Media Project

Everybody has a story to tell. - What's yours? How can you tell it? One way is through Digital Storytelling. All you need are some pictures, music and your voice. - Don't have pictures or music, we can help you with that too! Our project is designed for computer beginners and advanced techies alike. Come see what FREE tools are available for you. History is made every day, help us capture a moment! Visit us online at MeetUp.com to meet the great individuals involved in this project, and to register for all our upcoming events.

This project gives individuals and same-sex couples the opportunity to become “A Voice for Marriage Equality” by using this technology to tell their personal stories. Watch the short films in the playlist below!
