Marriage Equality in Iowa?

Dear Friends,

As you probably know by now, the Iowa Supreme Court will release its decision on the Varnum v. Brien case tomorrow (Friday, April 3) at 8:30 am. Interfaith Alliance of Iowa will hold a Press Conference tomorrow at 10:30 am to respond to the decision. See details below.

It is our hope that many clergy and people of faith and goodwill will join us at the State Capitol and stand with us in support of marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples. We will stand in support of fairness and equality for all families. We will stand to Protect Faith and Freedom.

Will you stand with us?

All supporters of Interfaith Alliance of Iowa and Marriage Equality are encouraged to attend. We especially would love clergy to be present to stand with our clergy speakers. Feel free to wear clergy attire such as a collar, stole, etc.

If you would like to attend, we would like you to arrive in Room 116 at the Capitol by 10 am. Allow plenty of time for parking and to get into the Capitol.

Please let me know of your plans to attend the Press Conference.

In addition, One Iowa is planning at least four Marriage Equality rallies in communities across the state. They are in the process of confirming rally locations in Des Moines, Council Bluffs, Iowa City and Quad Cities. There may be others. Check their website tonight for more information on times and locations. I strongly urge you to attend the rally in your community or closest to you. One Iowa's website is: www.oneiowa.org

With appreciation,
Connie
