SENATOR REV. RUBEN DIAZ

Senator Reverend Ruben Diaz Leads Midnight Bus Vigil on Wheels

New York State Senator Reverend Ruben Diaz (D-NY) will lead the all-night vigil of thirty (30) buses sponsored by the National Organization for Marriage bound for Washington, D.C. to join the March for Marriage demonstration in front of the United States Supreme Court on Tuesday, March 26, 2013. The thirty (30) buses filled with Pentecostal ministers and members of the New York Hispanic Clergy Organization will depart from various locations in New York at midnight, and gather at 9:00 AM in front of the United States Supreme Court.

"We will be praying all night, and when we arrive in Washington, DC. we will be peacefully demonstrating with thousands of Americans from all over the United States - including Puerto Rico," said Senator Rev. Diaz. "We believe marriage is between a man and a woman. It's as simple as that."

Senator Rev. Diaz serves as Pastor of the Christian Community Neighborhood Church, located at 1437 Longfellow Avenue (between Jennings and Freeman Streets) in Bronx County. Two buses from that location will be leaving at midnight.
