URGENT ACTION: Call Legislature to Overturn 8

Equality California is asking us to counter the numerous phone calls that are flooding California's Capitol from the anti-equality groups who are opposing the two resolutions that would put it on record that the Legislature would support overturning Prop 8. They are demanding members of the Senate and Assembly Judiciary committees to not vote in favor of these resolutions.

Our strong support for equality cannot go unheard, and EQCA is asking we IMMEDIATELY contact the legislators who have supported LGBT equality in the past. Here is the sample script and contact information EQCA has provided.

Sample Script

Thank you for past support for equality. My name is [Your Name] and I am calling to ask for you to vote in favor of SR 7 / HR 5 because Prop 8 is a drastic and radical revision to the California Constitution that puts all Californians at risk. I believe in equal protection under the law and do not want a simple majority of voters to be able to take fundamental rights away from any minority.

Thank you. [Your Name]
