Queer Fresno

Are you one of 1,000?
On Saturday, February 6th, 2010 people from across the state will come together in unison to take action in repealing Proposition 8 and restoring marriage equality in California. This will be the biggest statewide event planned to gather 100,000+ signatures to repeal Proposition 8 in a single day! It’s a hefty challenge, but it’s one that we are ready to take on. If we have 1,000 volunteers and they each collect 100 signatures, we’ve met our goal. This is your chance to prove that you’re serious about equality. Every day that goes by is another day that we allow discrimination to be written into the constitution. It doesn’t matter what your sexual orientation is. It doesn’t matter what your political party affiliation is. Race doesn’t matter, and neither does gender, religion, age, etc. This is a human issue. It’s an equality issue, and equality knows no bounds.

If you haven’t been able to volunteer in the past, it’s OK. If you’re an extremely busy person and don’t have much time, that’s OK too. All we ask is that you volunteer a few hours on February 6th to help show the people in California that we are serious about equality. It’s just a few hours and it’s easy. Join us on Saturday, February 6th and bring a friend. In fact, bring lots of friends and even your family members because this is about working TOGETHER for a greater cause. We are stronger when we work together.
