Dear Gonzalez Family,

 My name is Jose Medina; I am a steering committee member of SAME Alliance, a grassroots, non-profit organization based in San Diego.  Our organization was founded in opposition to Proposition 8 and is a democratically-run organization committed to fighting for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights including marriage equality. I am delivering this letter on behalf of the organization.

In pursuit of justice and solidarity for marriage equality, SAME Alliance has made outreach to other justice-seeking movements including immigrant rights and workers’ rights. We believe that an injustice to one is an injustice to all.

In 2009, SAME joined Unite Here Local 30 as a vocal and active member in the boycott of the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel to address the owner’s financial support of Proposition 8 and its unequal treatment of housekeeping staff.  SAME members were very aware that the hotel was taking advantage of the mostly Latino immigrants who were trying to support their families with the low pay and long hours working there.

Help us send a message to San Diego and the Supreme Court - Justice must be delivered. 

We will march from the "Light the Way to Justice" downtown rally to the First Ave bridge over I-5. SAME and the Overpass Light Brigade will have candles and a brightly lit message for thousands passing under the bridge. Join Us!
The message…NO DOMA - NO 8 or NO DOMA - NO H8

A CALL TO RALLY! Next week the United States Supreme Court will begin the hearing on federal marriage rights for the LGBT Community. ON MONDAY, MAR 25TH WE MUST GATHER AS ONE AND CALL FOR FULL FEDERAL MARRIAGE EQUALITY!   LOCATION: SD Federal Bldg, 880 FRONT ST, San Diego, CA. 92101 at 6pm!
