To update, the repeal DADT sit-in sit today at Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) Phoenix office was neither a GetEqual or EAA action. The five people, since arrested–Meg Sneed, Jimmy Gruender, Lee Walters, (Lonnie) Allen Howard-Stidham and Luisa Valdez–are members/founders of the Phoenix-based HERO:

We are a grassroots group of community organizers committed to organizing and motivating the community, planning actions, and fighting for the human, civil and equal rights for ALL.

More photos from HERO's action can be found on their Facebook page.
