An open letter from EQCA director Jeff Kors:
This is our last chance to keep the ballot measure from qualifying.
We have momentum. The governor has said he will fight with us to defeat this measure. But we still need you.
Our opponents recently poured another quarter of a million dollars into their paid signature gathering effort for a final push this weekend. We must counter their efforts.
We have one more week — and we need you. Will you join our fight against this amendment?
We have just days left to deny our opponents the final 100,000 signatures they say they need to qualify the amendment for the November ballot.
This is our last chance.
Here’s how you can help defeat this outrageous assault on our rights:
- Sign up to volunteer. Equality for All had 800 people on the streets last weekend talking to tens of thousands of Californians and asking them to not sign the petitions. If you were a volunteer — thank you! We need 1,000 volunteers this week in order to keep this amendment off the ballot.
- Make a donation. Every dollar you donate will help fight this initiative and counter the $250,000 the opposition just raised.
- Send an email to 10 friends. Tell them what is going on. Ask them to volunteer and donate.
Proponents of this amendment will do anything to get this measure on the ballot. We have heard of signature forging, volunteers telling voters this discriminatory petition supports marriage equality, and other illegal tactics.
We need you to join us today.
In solidarity,
Geoff Kors
Executive Director
Equality California Issues PAC
P.S. While Californians are supportive of equality for all people, we cannot assume voters would defeat a constitutional amendment banning marriage for same-sex couples. To have a fighting chance, we will need millions of dollars for a statewide campaign. With just a small amount of your time now, we may be able to avoid the risk of erasing years of progress – and save millions of dollars.
