Garden
State Equality Schedule
During
the remainder of 2010, you will witness civil rights history and have
an incomparable opportunity to be part of it.
You'll see history not only in California,
where the U.S. Court of Appeals will hear the Proposition 8 lawsuit,
but also in New Jersey, where a new lawsuit for marriage equality
will have Garden State Equality as a driving force. The New Jersey
Supreme Court invited us to go to trial to prove the civil union law
has failed to provide equality to same-sex couples. We will now demonstrate
that to the world.
You couldn't ask
for more exciting months than those immediately ahead.
To support the
upcoming lawsuit in New Jersey, Garden State Equality is holding three
EQUALITY WALKS in September: One each in North, Central and South
Jersey. As with the well-known AIDS Walks across the country, each
participant in our EQUALITY WALKS will be sponsored by friends, family
and colleagues pledging whatever they can. 100 percent of the proceeds
from our EQUALITY WALKS will go to Garden State Equality's marriage
lawsuit support fund.
Later this week,
we will post on our website, www.GardenStateEquality.org,
forms where participants, hopefully including you, can fill out your
information, as well as information for your sponsors and other walkers
you've asked to join you.
For now, we ask
you to save the dates to participate in one of our EQUALITY WALKS,
Each EQUALITY WALK will end with a free barbecue or picnic for all
sponsored walkers.
If you have any
questions, please contact Garden State Equality's managing director
of advocacy, Troy Stevenson, at Stevenson@GardenStateEquality.org
