Statewide Action Wed 3/4 Before Prop 8 Oral Argument

The California Supreme Court will be hearing oral arguments in "the Proposition 8 cases" (
Strauss v. Horton, S168047; Tyler v. State of California, S168066; City and County of San Francisco v. Horton, S168078) on Thursday March 5th. The day before there will be actions all over the state, hoping to inform the court of the importance of the case to thousands of people. The event is called Eve of Justice: Lighting The Way For The Supreme Court and here is the announcement from the Equal Roots Coalition:
