AN ACTIVIST EMERGENCY! As we approach marriage equality, national right-wing leaders have begun their mission to destroy New Jersey's LGBT community and its supporters. Over the past three weeks, our opponents have aired hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of ads on New Jersey radio stations to stop marriage equality. The ads viciously attack same-sex couples. The ads bloody everyone, LGBT or straight, who believes in equality. The ads have reduced a number of LGBT couples and youth to tears. Are you ready to fight back? This is an emergency! The national battle has come to New Jersey! It's now! This Wednesday night at 7:00 pm and this Thursday night at 7:00 pm, Garden State Equality is holding emergency meetings for marriage equality across New Jersey. The schedule and organizational cosponsors of each emergency meeting is below. Please choose at least one to attend. Please bring with you everyone you can. No RSVP is necessary. Again, the schedule is below - and please make sure you scroll all the way down to see the entire schedule. Wednesday night, there are six meetings across North Jersey. Thursday night, there are five meetings across Central and South Jersey. We beg you to attend at least one of these emergency meetings, any of your choice. We are under seige. No RSVP is necessary - please just show up and bring others with you. Questions? Call Hannah Johnson, Garden State Equality's Field Director, on cell (920) 222-1878.
