Our visibility will show support and resolve for a movement that includes the federal court case, and supports a ballot repeal effort regardless of whether that's in 2010, 2012, or beyond. We need your help to secure equality for our friends and our selves, and give California the opportunity to show that it is better than Prop 8 Oakland: Rockridge BART Station Parking Lot, 10:30 a.m. San Francisco: Justin Herman Plaza, 1 Market Street (@ Embarcadero), 11 a.m. All-ages afterparty at Americano, 8 Mission St (@ Embarcadero), 4 p.m. For more information on local events, call 510-847-1981.

09 Dec '09

Hi, Who's up for tabling this weekend? We're going to register voters and gather signatures to repeal prop 8 at the KPFA crafts fair, this Saturday and Sunday from 10-4. If you can help out, email us at cc(a)sfgreens.org. Location: 8th and Brannan Weather contingencies: if it rains all day, we'll have to cancel. If it's raining on and off, we can set up an ironing board and hide inside the building during the showers. If the weather looks decent, I'll bring the large booth. Note: I'll bring plenty of copies of the blank petition, but if you want to get a head start, it's here: http://signforequality.com/Documents/marriage_petition.pdf JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc(a)sfgreens.org) http://sfgreens.org/

[Repeal8] list for repealing Prop 8
by John-Marc Chandonia 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hi, Thanks for signing up at the SF Green Party's Pride booth to help with our efforts to repeal Prop 8! This list is for volunteers who can help us to collect signatures for a ballot initiative, once that effort gets underway again. If you wanted to just sign up for our weekly e-newsletter, please let me know, and I can unsubscribe you from this list and put you on the other one instead (of course, please let me know if you don't want to be on either list). For those of you interested in the background behind our efforts, we've in contact with people from the statewide organization "Yes on Equality" (yesonequality.org) to help collect signatures statewide for a ballot initiative for a constituational amendment to repeal Prop 8. We've heard that various organizations statewide have reached consensus that the best time to put the question before the voters again will be in the November 2010 statewide election. Once these groups draft the ballot language, the CA Secretary of State will give them a limited time window in which to collect signatures from registered voters. The SF Green Party will help out by asking our volunteers and active members to collect as many signatures as we can to help with those efforts. At this time, I don't know exactly when the signature gathering will get underway again. The campaign first kicked off on Easter in Dolores Park, but the leaders of Yes on Equality decided several weeks ago to stop collecting signatures and try again after more organizations were involved. I am waiting to find out exactly when that will be, and will pass along any news as soon as I hear it. Until then, we're lining up as many volunteers as possible so we'll be ready to hit the ground running! If you know anybody else who's interested, please let me know and I can add them to the list.
