Courage Campaign

Jacobs hailed the work being done in the field by grassroots activists, saying, "We must build our ultimate victory from the lessons of our recent disappointments," continued Jacobs. "We know that we can change hearts and minds through real conversations with our friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. This takes time and has to be built to scale -- so we can't delay. When we go back to the ballot, we must be strong, clear and embracing."

MUST-READ: Four Principles for a United Movement Tuesday, 07/28/09
Courage Campaign

1. Our campaign to win must begin now, regardless of when the movement decides to place a marriage equality initiative on the ballot.

2. To unite the strength of activists across California, the campaign must be independent, accountable, and not dominated by any one organization.

3. To gain the trust and full commitment of supporters, the campaign needs a representative and functional governance structure.

4. Victory on election day requires a strong, experienced campaign manager who understands California politics and has won battles like this before. Our opposition is well-organized, and we need exceptional leadership on our side to prevail.

Courage Campaign Statement on "Prepare to Prevail" Letter Tuesday, 07/14/09
Courage Campaign

Back in May, we asked our members to vote on which year -- 2010 or 2012 -- the Courage Campaign should support going back to the ballot to restore marriage equality. The response was overwhelming -- 82.5% expressed support for a 2010 ballot measure.

The Courage Campaign is doing its part by helping to build an electoral road map to victory, as are several other organizations that are laying the groundwork necessary to win back marriage equality. It is our responsibility to our members, who overwhelmingly told us that they want to go to the ballot in 2010, and it is our responsibility to the marriage equality community.

That's why the Courage Campaign announced support for a 2010 initiative in May. While we respect other organizations discussing and deliberating this very important question, we have been building the infrastructure to win marriage equality rights at the ballot box sooner, rather than later. Our members are ready to do the hard work needed to win.

Camp Courage: Vote today for your California community Wednesday, 01/21/09
Courage Campaign

To make Camp Courage as member-driven and people-powered as possible, we want you to choose where you think we should train marriage equality activists in California.

Your vote will help our staff determine where to locate the next Camp Courage training. We will weigh many factors, including prioritizing trainings in communities that will likely not receive as many votes as major metropolitan areas. Ultimately, we want to make strategic decisions and pick locations that will help build the Marriage Equality Movement across California.
