Rally in Celebration or Protest at 6:00pm on the Day of the Decision
When the CA Supreme Court announces their decision on Proposition 8, we must act! We are calling you to join us for a rally in celebration or protest on the day of the decision. Protests will occur nationwide and our voices will be heard! We hope that we will come together in celebration, but must know that even in celebration we have many more battles to win and need to unite on the day of decision in one loud voice.

We are now waiting for the decision to come down from the California Supreme Court. We do not know when it will come, but decisions are usually announced on a Tue. or Thurs.We will be notified the day before. When that happens, I will be sending out announcements. We will be gathering the night of the announcement in two places- Arcata plaza and County Courthouse in Eureka. There will be some music entertainment as we either cry or shout with glee. Please bring your on sign. We would like to keep the theme positive, " Equality For All- PERIOD!" Please, no violence if the decision is bad. Get angry, yes, but channel that anger in reaching out to your friends and neighbors ( the ones who voted yes on ) and encourage them that Equality should be for all people. If the decision is bad, there will be a new inititive filed to get on the ballot next year. Please join us in solidarity as we prepare for the future. The rallies will start @ 6:00pm.

The time has come. The drive has started. Even when Californians win their rights back, we still have the rest of the country and the federal level to reach. This civil rights movement is on and we must not stop until equality is afforded to all citizens of the United States of America, just as our Constitution states that it should be.

We are looking for others who would like to keep what Marriage Equality started here in Humboldt County. We are an educational organization and we can use others as leaders and helpers. If you have a little time that you can spend educating others about marriage equality, please email Stan at ca-humboldt@marriageequality.org. Many of you signed up saying that you would be interested in helping and we are asking you to step forward. Please see Stan at the coffee shop or email him at the chapter address. Marriage Equality USA is expanding rapidly across the country - our efforts have been noticed and are respected around the world.

Meeting Time and Location: If you would be interested in holding a potluck get- together, please let us know.
