The overwhelming amount of anger and sadness at our loss on Proposition 8 on November 4 is now turning into action at Equality California.
First of all, we are crafting a strategy to overturn this outrageous loss of our rights. Equality California, represented by NCLR, ACLU, Lambda Legal and Munger, Tolles, Olson has filed a suit with the California Supreme Court asking that the election—the result of outrageous lies and questionable tactics by the other side, be thrown out. We know our rights cannot be taken away by a mob vote.
It is very important for all of us to ensure our actions result in a victory in the court—our best chance to reverse the elimination of our rights as soon as possible. So gatherings of everyone who supports justice and equality sends an important message to the court that there IS popular support for marriage equality in California. Join your community in peaceful marches and gatherings around the state.
Second, you can also help by signing our petition saying "I demand my equality back" and that you commit to getting marriage equality back on the ballot if we don't win in court.
Third, send the petition to everyone you know. We will need over one million valid signatures to put a new measure on the ballot and we need everyone to agree to carry petitions.
