The Details

Los Angeles County Story of Now: Courage Family Dessert Potluck & Presidential Address Watch Party (Equality Team Event)
Join the RENWL, San Fernando Valley and Westside Equality Teams and Courage Campaign staff for a dessert potluck to watch President Obama's speech and then engage in an intimate discussion about the Courage Campaign's vision for restoring marriage equality to California.

This "Story of Now: Courage Family Potluck" will include two-events-in-one:

* At 5 p.m., we'll gather to watch President Obama's big speech on health care reform before a joint session of Congress.

* At 6:30, after discussing President Obama's speech, we'll have an intimate discussion about Courage's vision to restore marriage equality repeal Prop 8.

You can come to both events, if you like. Or just show up for the 6:30 potluck discussion about marriage equality.

At 6:30, Courage Campaign Founder & Chair Rick Jacobs will lead a presentation and you can hear firsthand about Courage's road map to repeal Prop 8 as well as what you can do to support our friends at the "No on 1" campaign in Maine, who are working to protect marriage equality between now and Maine's November 3 election.

About County Equality Teams
  • Based on the volunteer-driven Neighborhood Team model that proved successful during the Obama campaign, our Neighborhood Equality Teams provide the opportunity for people to be involved at a local level in this important movement for equality.
  • The mission of our Equality Teams is as follows:
    • Establish an active and visible presence in the community for marriage equality.
    • Develop relationships with local elected officials and supportive organizations to create an opportunity for sharing resources and building local power.
    • Coordinate regular voter contact actions - including canvasses, phone-banks, tabling at community events, and registering new voters.
    • Represent the community in important state-wide actions, trainings, and conference calls focused on marriage equality.
  • Over the past six months, local activists have established 44 Equality Teams in 23 counties.  Those teams have hosted more than 140 events, knocked on thousands of doors and have held countless successful and moving conversations with undecided California voters.
