Please join CA Faith for Equality, Marriage Equality USA, Equality California, Courage Campaign, Progressive Jewish
Alliance, and a number of other organizations to “Keep the Faith” for equality during the first week of November.
At the one year anniversary of the passage of Proposition 8, we will stand together, not looking back, but moving forward.
We will celebrate the progress that has been made in the past year, both in the secular and religious communities. We will
renew our support for our friends in Maine and Washington State as they face ballot measures which would strip same-sex
couples of relationship protections.
Through interfaith prayer, song, and reflection, we are “Keeping the Faith” for equality for all people.
Local leaders, secular, people of faith and clergy, from our various organizations are helping organize this partnership be-
tween LGBTI activists and LGBTI inclusive communities of faith. If you would like to organize a Keeping the Faith event
you can download the Keeping the Faith Resource Kit, including a sample liturgy and sample talking points by clicking
here and send an email to Kerry Chaplin [kerry@cafaithforequality.org] who will put you in contact with other affirming
congregations and community leaders in your area who are interested in forming an organizing team with you.
Together, we have an opportunity to come together as a community, secular and faith-driven alike, to demonstrate that
Prop 8 has made us stronger and more vigilant throughout California – and even across the nation.
