Dear Daniel,

Prop 8 proponents are appealing the federal court's decision right now – they have vowed to take this fight all the way to the Supreme Court. We need your support now more than ever. Join me and support American Foundation for Equal Rights Today. |

When the federal court struck down Prop 8, it was a profound moment for millions of people who have been living with the denial of their fundamental rights. It sent a signal to gay and lesbian people everywhere that their love, relationships, and families will be honored and protected equally across our whole country. But make no mistake—if we give up now, our victory will be fleeting. Right now, anti-marriage forces are filing their appeal, and they are committed to fighting against us all the way to the Supreme Court.
Your contribution today means we can fight back and protect this ruling for everyone.
The defendants in this case, having already lost in court, will stop at nothing in their attempt to block equal rights for all Americans. They will tap their national fundraising network. They will redeploy the hateful and divisive rhetoric we heard during the Prop 8 campaign. They will flood the airwaves and the courtroom with their supporters, pseudo-science and deception.
We won this landmark case because we are morally and legally right. This case is about nothing more—and nothing less—than ensuring every American is treated equally in the eyes of the law. It’s about two people who want to get married not having the government stand in their way. It's about not having the government categorize them and their families as second-class, unworthy of the recognition and rights open to every other American.
Help us make our case: The fight is long from over, but when it is, with your help, this nation will be a more equal place.
Sincerely,
Dustin Lance Black,
Board Member,
