Watch the Prop 8 Appeal Hearing on Monday @ 10am at LA City Hall
Rodney Nickens
The hearing will be broadcast live on C-SPAN Monday, but it's more fun
to watch it in a communal setting where we can discuss, gasp, and be
collectively appalled/ecstatic while watching the case unfold for the
first time live.
Join us at City Hall in City Council Chambers Monday, doors open at
9am, and starting at 9:30 we'll have an attorney from Gibson Dunn who
worked on the case there to walk us through the case and answer any
questions.
Several elected officials will also be dropping by to pledge their
support and talk to folks.
Let me know if you're interested in attending by 4pm today and I can
arrange for free parking. Feel free to pass this along!
I will upload a pdf of the flyer as well.
Happy Holidays!!

"And as with so many movements, it was also something more: It was at
this defining moment that these folks who had been marginalized rose
up to challenge not just how the world saw them, but also how they saw
themselves. As we've seen so many times in history, once that spirit
takes hold there is little that can stand in its way. And the riots at
Stonewall gave way to protests, and protests gave way to a movement,
and the movement gave way to a transformation that continues to this
day. It continues when a partner fights for her right to sit at the
hospital bedside of a woman she loves. It continues when a teenager is
called a name for being different and says, "So what if I am?" It
continues in your work and in your activism, in your fight to freely
live your lives to the fullest."
~President Barack H. Obama
