Help Us Make History Wednesday - Join Your Local Day of Decision Gathering

Marriage Equality Supporters,

Judge Walker will issue his decision in the Federal Prop 8 case on Wednesday, August 3, 2010 between 1-3pm.  The decision will be posted at www.cand.uscourts.gov and on our home page at www.marriageequality.org and you can watch the decision being read by an actor playing Judge Walker at marriagetrial.com

Then, plan on joining the local community gathering near you to celebrate (hopefully) and organize our next steps on our journey to justice.   Let's turn out for love, justice and equality for all - bring your family, bring your friends - be counted!

Below is the current list of over 30 organized events.  If your location isn't currently listed and you'd like to organize an event, post it at www.prop8decision.com and contact us a media@marriageequality.org.  

And to support Marriage Equality USA with grassroots organizing, like these Day of Decision rallies, please become a member or donate to our organization at http://www.marriageequality.org/join-now
