Sean Penn, Dustin Lance
Black, and the director and producers of
Milk
are here to recruit you ... on behalf of the
Courage Campaign
.
Moments after oral
arguments concluded in the California supreme court to decide
the validity of Prop. 8, the Courage Campaign sent out an
e-mail on behalf of Penn, Black, Gus Van Sant, Bruce Cohen, Dan
Jinks, and Cleve Jones urging people to join the struggle and
continue to fight for equal rights.
"No matter what
the state supreme court decides, the fight for equality will
continue in California and across the country," the letter
reads. "If we win, the same people who backed
Prop. 8 will find another way to undermine equal rights. If we
lose, we will need to take our case to the people of California
again. No matter what, we'll eventually need to win full
equality under federal law."
