COLAGE Bay Area

Join COLAGE Bay Area for a Candlelight Vigil Feb 24 09

COLAGE invites you to come out on March 4th to Rally and be visible supporters for our families and equality!

On March 5th, the California Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on why Prop 8 should be repealed. COLAGE and Marriage Equality invite you on the Eve of this historical event to join us for a march, candlelight vigil, and short rally.

COLAGE among several other members of the community have been invited to speak at the rally. Paulie Schreck, one of our adult COLAGErs, will be joined by a COLAGE youth Samuel Berston who will be sharing a short letter he wrote about his family.

People have been asked to gather at Market and Castro for a pre-march rally in Harvey Milk Plaza. The march will begin from the steps at 6pm and will end at the CA Supreme Court at 6:45.

Look for the COLAGE banner and please come join us! We would love as many COLAGErs and families to participate alongside with us!

For more information feel free to contact Paulie Schreck at COLAGE,
