No on Prop 8

No on 8, the group leading the fight against California's Proposition 8--an anti-marriage ballot initiative--is being outspent by the usual culprits (Catholic groups, American Family Association, Focus on the Family, and the Mormons--here and here), and they need our help.

There is less than a month left in which to turn public opinion back against Proposition 8, which would effectively divorce thousands of California's same-sex married couples, but we can take strength from these words:

"Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice." (Martin Luther King Jr, "Where Do We Go from Here?" 16 August 1967)

We can help nudge that arc toward justice by saying "no" to second-class citizenships for LGBT Californians. (And let's not forget that Arizona and Florida have battles of their own to win...)
