Tomorrow-- San Diego City Council Votes on Marriage Equality

A message from the Center's Marriage Equality Project:

On Tues., Sept 18th the San Diego City Council will vote on whether to sign on to a friend-of-the-court (amicus) brief in the marriage equality case currently before the California Supreme Court. This measure was first brought up on Sept 4th and the Council Members voted 4-4, which forced another vote on Sept. 18th.

Having the City of San Diego (the state’s second largest city, which has, as we know, a reputation for being moderate to conservative) signing in favor of marriage equality in this case will make a HUGE impact and not only further bolster the case, but will likely help persuade other cities to sign on to the amicus brief as well.

I am 100% positive if you are reading this you have already e-mailed all the Council Members and either thanked them for their support or encouraged them to vote yes on Sept 18th, but what we really need is SUPPORTIVE FACES at the Sept. 18th hearing.

The hearing starts at 2:00pm on Tuesday Sept. 18, 2007 and is located on the 12th floor of the City Hall in Downtown San Diego (202 C Street San Diego, CA 92101).
