From 5-6pm we will March Forth from the Castro to the California Supreme Court at Civic Center Plaza for an inspirational Candlelight Vigil and Rally for previews from the legal advocates who will be presenting reasons on why the Court must overturn Prop 8, entertainment and inspiring speakers from communities and organizations that are invested in equality for all.
