The Advocate's list of our best friends and worst enemies when it comes to preserving the right of same-sex couples to marry in California. Here's your chance to get involved!
There's no better time than now to become an activist. California voters in November will decide whether same-sex couples should have the right to marry, and our friends and enemies are each planning campaigns that will cost an estimated $20 million-plus combined. Want to do more than donate? Let our friends and enemies know how you feel.?It's never been easier to call, pen a letter, or dash off an e-mail. The Advocate has done the legwork. Below you'll find contact information for groups and politicians who want to do away with same-sex marriage, and those who are working to preserve it.
