A group of local leaders and organizations is urging residents to attend a community-wide informational meeting focused on defeating Proposition 8 – the November ballot initiative that would deny gay and lesbian couples the freedom to marry. Local leaders are working in concert with the Equality for All campaign, a large and diverse coalition of civil rights, faith, choice, communities of color, and labor organizations that is working to defeat Prop 8. A Sacramento community-wide informational meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 30 at 6:00pm at Curtis Hall in the Sierra 2 Center. Residents will receive a briefing on the local efforts to defeat Prop 8 and will learn how they can take an active role in the campaign.

Earlier this year, the State Supreme Court ruled that California’s constitution guarantees gay and lesbian couples the freedom to marry. Prop 8 seeks to revise the constitution and would require that gay and lesbian couples be treated differently under state law. The July 30 community meeting is co-sponsored by: Sacramento Stonewall Democratic Club, Sacramento County Democratic Party, California Capital Political Action Committee (CAPPAC), Sacramento Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), Equality California (EQCA), Town and Country Democrats, and Rainbow Chamber of Commerce

Equality for All / No on Prop 8 Community Meeting, Wed., July 30, 6pm, Curtis Hall in the Sierra 2 Center, 2791 24th St.
