Next Steps: Fighting Prop 8

from Human Rights Campaign

Marriage Equality Fight Continues

The California Supreme Court announced that it would take up the lawsuit to overturn California's discriminatory Prop. 8. While we are awaiting the outcome of that lawsuit, HRC is addressing the root causes of the Election Day loss by making the case for equality with people of all faiths and backgrounds. That work includes:


  • Participating in a broad gathering of faith leaders in LA next week to formulate a plan moving forward.

  • Encouraging our California members to help organize or and participate in townhall meetings across the state in the coming months. Contact meeting organizers near you »

  • Organizing LGBT people of faith to come out in their religious communities. Find out how you can participate »

  • Getting our message out to living rooms across America with HRC President Joe Solmonese's appearance on "Dr. Phil" tomorrow. Get details on the show »

  • Building on our Election Day successes, which have opened up new doors for marriage equality in key states, especially the Northeast.




Fight for Marriage Equality

The passage of discriminatory initiatives in California, Arizona and Florida has ignited the passion of thousands. You and thousands of others have already pledged to keep your anger and passion alive. Now ask everyone you know to join you in working for justice until equality is the law of the land.
