This is Not Win, Lose, or Draw!
The fate of marriage equality in California rests squarely in the hands of voters. We will either come out tomorrow preserving rights and benefits for all our families, or we will write discrimination into the state constitution.
Exit polls show the majority of Californians oppose prop 8:
"A new Field Poll shows Proposition 8, one of the most closely watched state ballot measures in years, is supported by 44 percent of likely voters. Forty-nine percent oppose it, and 7 percent are undecided."(Sacbee)However, according to early voting statistics prop 8 is currently leading:
"Nearly half of all voters are voting early or by mail, and they narrowly favor Proposition 8 by a three-point margin, according to the poll. Among the 22 percent of respondents who have already voted, the yes side was leading by six points."We must speak up, and spread the word to GET OUT THE VOTE! Please urge your friends and family to vote NO on prop 8 and to bring people with them to the polls.

Why: We are gathering during the Traditional Family Values Parade to raise awareness about the importance of voting no on Proposition 8.

We support family values and respect for all. For these reasons, we are calling on the Salinas Valley to Vote No on Prop 8.
Instructions: Please arrive at the Cherry Bean at 1:15 pm.
Organizers will provide participants with plenty of No on 8 gear - signs, stickers, etc.

Bolthouse Farms Has a Change of Heart
LGBT activists have been protesting against fruit drink producer Bolthouse Farms over the founders 100k contribution to proposition 8.
LGBT activist Lane Hudson has been advising Bolthouse Farms for the last month. From his email to Joe My God it lists improvements that Bolthouse has made internally:
"Bolthouse Farms sponsored the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force LA Awards Brunch as a Gold Sponsor and the CEO personally contributed $5K to their No on 8 work. Bolthouse Farms was also a corporate table sponsor of the Human Rights Campaign National Dinner.These are very positive changes! Thank you all for your continued activism in urging them to be a socially responsible corporation. Californians Against Hate who have been the leaders in this boycott and calling for change have declared an end to the boycott and protests.
"In addition, they have clarified their non-discrimination policy to include sexual orientation. They also clarified their benefits policy to include dependent children of same sex relationships. They also edited their website, corporate philosophy and corporate mission to reflect what a consumer products company should be. It's a great deal of progress since the new CEO took the reigns a mere 12 weeks ago and since I began advising him a month ago."
