7 Days and 7 Ways to Protect Equality

One week from today, Californians can stand up for equality and protect the freedom to marry in our state by voting NO on Prop. 8. To protect the rights of all Californians, we need to do everything in our power to persuade every single person we know to vote NO on Prop 8.

We have just 7 days to get this message out - to use our own words and speak from our hearts about why this issue is so important. And there are 7 easy ways that you can make a difference.
