This is a great way to share your story and take action to make a difference. Lobby your representatives directly to pass two resolutions to overturn Prop 8. SR 7 (Leno) and HR 5 (Ammiano) will make it the state's official stance that Prop 8 should be invalidated. The event is free and open to all. Each participant will receive a lobbying training, advocacy materials, and be assigned to an experienced group leader. EQCA will arrange the meeting with your elected official(s).
