Appearing with me was rally organizer Will Elliott:
Last Tuesday's historic election wasn't all good news for progressive politics. In California, voters passed Proposition 8, which created a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Its passage has ignited activism for equal rights across the country, including right here in North Carolina. A grassroots group called NC Against H8 is organizing a rally for equal rights in downtown Raleigh on Saturday. Organizer Will Elliott and blogger Pam Spaulding, editor of
pamshouseblend.com, discuss why what's happening in California matters to everyone.
