California Marriage Equality Update from DeFrank Center (San Jose, CA)

MARRIAGE EQUALITY

Don’t get complacent!

We still have a lot of work to do to defeat the anti-gay marriage amendment in California!

What You Can Do Right Now:

• Visit EQCA to stay up to date on current developments, and volunteer your time (or money!).

• Join the YouTube Marriage Equality Project. Even if you don’t make videos yourself, we need you! (Please tell your friends about it, and blog it!)

• Wear the shirt or sport the bumper sticker:

Our Marriage Vote gear is selling like mad — Buffy and I are wearing ours to San Francisco Pride!

• Bookmark The Lavender Newswire and check back often for updates!

You are cordially invited to kick off a summer of love and celebration in grand style. We need your time and involvement, whether you yourself are tying the knot or you want to help see the nuptials go off without a hitch.

We need volunteers starting this weekend and also next week, particularly Tuesday morning, when California starts issuing marriage licenses to gays and lesbians everywhere, including our very own Santa Clara County Government Building.

Please contact me directly as soon as you can, to let me know about your interest and availability. Thanks in advance for your time and involvement!
