March Forth on March 4th (Montage: The Eve of Justice)
There’s plenty of advance notice on this one. No excuses. Mark the date on your calendar: 4 March 2009.
By now you’ve heard that on 5 March 2009, the California Supreme Court will hear arguments challenging the constitutionality of Proposition 8. Good news for Californians, the marriage-equality revolution will be televised. Tune in the California Channel from 9:00 am until Noon.
As a pre-justice kick-off here in San Diego, the San Diego Alliance for Marriage Equality is calling on all fair-minded citizens to:
March Forth on March 4th – The Eve of Justice:
Lighting the way for the Supreme CourtSan Diego will have a community rally with speakers and singing converging on the Hall of Justice at 330 W Broadway, San Diego CA 92101 from 4-6 pm. A candle light vigil will then line the streets of Downtown San Diego Starting at 6 pm.
The California Supreme Court will hear oral arguments challenging Prop 8 on March 5th. This court case is not only challenging Prop 8 but also threatens to take away the marriages of the 18,000 loving and committed same-sex couples that were married last year.
At court houses in cities across the state rallies and candle light vigils are being held so we can send a strong message to the courts that we want our equal rights back and we are asking them to rule on the side of love.
Bring your friends, family, loved ones… and of course bring your candles, your signs, and your American and Gay pride flags to encouraging the courts to save the 18,000 couples’ marriages and to rule on the side of love.
