In 2008, these families and leaders stepped forward to support marriage equality in California’s largest-ever social justice advertising campaign involving the state’s African American, Spanish Language and Asian Pacific newspapers and radio stations. Their leadership and commitment sparked thousands of conversations about the importance of marriage equality for all families. We applaud their courage and are forever in their debt.
