UPDATE for NJ 12/7 Hearing: Garden State Equality

December 4, 2009 by savvyplanners.com

“IF YOU’RE COMING TO THE NEW JERSEY SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HEARING MONDAY, PLEASE WEAR YOUR EQUALITY T-SHIRTS IF YOU HAVE THEM FROM OUR LOBBY DAYS. IF YOU DON’T HAVE ONE, WE’LL GIVE YOU ONE FREE ON MONDAY.

This Monday, when the New Jersey Senate Judiciary Committee holds its hearing and votes on the marriage equality bill, please everything possible to join Garden State Equality at 9:00 am at the Trenton Marriott, 1 West Lafayette Street in Trenton. You can park at the Trenton Marriott.

Several reasons why you should come as extremely early as you can on Monday – joining us at 9:00 am at the Trenton Marriott – rather than wait until the hearing starts at the State House at 1:00 pm.

1.   The entire world will be there to see this piece of history on Monday – you simply have to arrive very early, as if you this were the event of a lifetime for which you’re willing to camp out.
2.   We’ll feed you free breakfast Monday morning at the Marriott.
3.   We’ll brief you Monday morning at the Marriott – that’s key.
4.   If you’re might want to testify on Monday, we’ll have a special briefing – that’s really key.
5.   Be with your extended LGBT and progressive allies family. We’re all in this together.
6.   We’ll walk from the Marriott to the State House together to show our presence to the press.

Please forward this email right now to every one of your friends, family, work colleagues, organizational members, congregational members and list serv members. We need the biggest turnout of our lives on Monday.

Thank you so much – we love you all for helping to bring us this far. Happy holidays.”

Steven Goldstein, Chair
