Help Us Make History - Eve of Justice

Eve of Justice and Day of Hearing Volunteer Planning

Marriage Equality USA Call for Volunteers

On March 5th, the California Supreme Court will hear arguments on why Prop 8 should be repealed. We have two events we’d like you to participate in on this historic occasion. We need volunteers to help make these events a huge success. If you want to volunteer, see VOLUNTEER DETAILS below.

On Wednesday, March 4th we begin The Eve of Justice rally at Harvey Milk Plaza and hear from speakers including Cleve Jones and Dustin Black (Academy Award Winner for the Milk screenplay). 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.

The, join us on Thursday, March 5th at Civic Center Plaza (just outside the steps of the California Supreme Court). We will begin at 7:30am with a Hope and Justice Program led by supportive faith leaders who believe Prop 8 must be overturned and then from 9am to noon we will gather with thousands of others to watch the oral arguments on a jumbtron.
