It breaks my heart

Proposition H8:



1 Million for Marriage Equality:
Watch our new "Fidelity" TV ad and sign the pledge!

The California Supreme Court's decision is extremely disappointing, but we don't have time to mourn the court's failure to restore marriage equality to California.

It's time to go on offense. To be fearless in our fight for equality. Starting right now.

We are all -- gay and straight -- working together to build a grassroots army to restore marriage equality to California.

Please sign the pledge and forward "Fidelity" to your friends!

We, the undersigned, are united in our refusal to accept a California where discrimination is enshrined in our state's constitution.

We pledge to repeal Prop 8 and restore marriage equality to California.

Join more than 700,000 Courage Campaign members ready to restore marriage equality to California. Help us reach 1 Million for Marriage Equality by adding your name now!

Support the poor yacht owners!

Californian State Republicans do!


Inspired by a blogger’s YouTube video, the Courage Campaign launched “Yacht Party” — a 30-second TV ad re-branding California Republicans as the “Yacht Party” for refusing to close a “yacht tax” loophole despite California’s massive $16 billion state budget deficit.

The ad attracted rave reviews, prompting United Healthcare Workers – West (SEIU-UHW) and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez to team up with 558 Courage Campaign donors to fund the airing of “Yacht Party” across California, from CNN and MSNBC to The Daily Show and Colbert Report. The financial support for the ad from Speaker Nunez and members of SEIU-UHW catalyzed statewide newspaper coverage, forcing Republican Sam Blakeslee to defend his flip-flopping votes for and against the yacht tax “sloophole”.
