Standing on the Side of Love: Candlelight Vigil
Join a prayerful, peaceful candlelight vigil in solidarity with the LGBT community. Families, students, allies, people of faith, of conscience, of compassion - everyone is encouraged to stand on the side of love and the freedom to marry.
There is no proposition that can be passed, no law that can be written, and no constitutional amendment that can be added which can ever truly deny the love and commitment between two people. We cannot be silent when the rights of anyone are eliminated. Now is the time to stand on the side of love.
Gather at the location nearest you on Monday, Nov. 10, between 5-6:30pm. Check website below for the most up-to-date list of venues and links to maps.

* San Jose at S. Bascom and Hamilton Ave. (just west of 17; south east corner)

* Belmont corner of El Camino Real and Ralston Avenue (on CalTrain side of street)

Spread the word every way possible.
