Wear a White Knot on Thursday wherever you are. whatever you are doing.
The California Supreme Court will be hearing the arguments to invalidate Prop 8 which banned same-sex marriage. The result of this case will impact the fight for equal rights throughout the country. On Thursday, show the world how much support Marriage Equality has by wearing your White Knot and telling people why.

The court case challenging Prop 8 will be heard on March 5th in San Francisco – and rather than watching from behind the media’s eye, I challenge you to be in front of the cameras.
Be present outside the court to show the judges how much we support overturning 8. Don’t wait and react to a decision, go out and show you will fight for equality. No matter what the courts decide, this will be a landmark case in determining if the rights of any minority are safe in our society, so now’s the time to take a stand. If you’re able please come stand outside the courts and wear white in solidarity.
And once you do don’t just settle for your own action, bring a friend, tell a coworker, bring all your allies. The more visual support we garner, the harder it is to silence the need for justice.
I’ve heard talk from various people about doing this, and not just getting a handful of supports or a few hundred, but 100,000 people. That is a very lofty goal and it will take all of us pooling our resources, calling our allies and giving our time to achieve that. But if we do – that sends a huge message. However because this is such a lofty aim, organizations are less likely to put their name on it because of the risk. So thus I’m just taking this into my own hands and trying to network the college kids and hoping that together our network can do this. We should be the ones standing up on our own without an organization telling us to, and this begins with you and me. Hope to see you in San Francisco!
*UPDATE*:
Thursday, March 5 is the ONLY day they will be arguing the case… There will only be one day of arguments and then the judges get 90 days to decide.
We have ONE shot and no second chances to make a statement outside the courthouse… so PLEASE COME! There will be press conferences by the lawyers afterwards – all on March 5 – and the opposition is going to be there in full force so we need to mobilize to make sure we’re the dominant voice!
