Citizen Hope Co-Hosts “San Francisco United for Maine Equality”–”To Maine: From San Francisco, With Love”

n186265340567_7688
California’s Proposition 8 is happening all over again in Maine. This year, the Governor and Legislature of Maine made marriage equality a reality. It did not take long for opponents of equality to place “Question 1,” a state proposition to repeal the legislation, on the ballot. We’re coming together to raise money to defeat Question 1. Please join us at this critical time with election day only weeks away on November 3rd.

Guest speakers include State Senator Mark Leno, City Attorney Dennis Herrera and Supervisor Bevan Dufty

The election is “too close to call.” We can make a difference from San Francisco by providing the funds directly to the campaign against Question 1. We hope you can be there.

With love and in unity,
