We're so excited to get married next summer, and are saddened by the inequality that keeps us from legally enjoying marriage. Please help us create a world where one day all unions - no matter the gender of the couple - will be able to be celebrated.
This is why we've registered for the Marriage Equality USA Bridge Walk. We'll be walking from one end of the Golden Gate Bridge to the other - and then back again to support MEUSA! Can you sponsor us?
MEUSA has no paid staff people and is completely volunteer-run, yet they're the most effective grassroots marriage equality organization in California. During the Prop 8 campaign, they were the only organization giving major resources to the central valley, people of color, and people of faith. As you may know, post-Prop 8 polling suggests that's exactly where resources needed to be concentrated. Their energized expert board, leadership, and grassroots organizers are some of the absolute best people I've ever worked with.
The Bridge Walk is the Sunday after next, September 26. We hope to raise $180 before then. In Judaism, 18 is a significant number. The letters add up to "Chai", to life. Many Jews give monetary gifts in a multiple of 18 as it is considered an expression of a blessing for a long life. So our goal is to raise $180 for MEUSA, an organization that is fighting for our right to be blessed with one another for life.
Thank you so much!
