Dear Supporters, Wow what an incredible boost to the campaign for #EqualCivilPartnerships in 2016! Over the last week, the number of our petition signatories has soared. Now, there are over 30,000 (THIRTY THOUSAND!) of us calling for civil partnerships to be open to all, regardless of sexual orientation. Thank you for signing and especially for sharing with us your profoundly inspiring personal experiences and reasons for caring about this issue. It strengthens our resolve to continue pushing for an urgent change in the law. Despite this progress, we face several challenges and we need your help: Donate to our Legal Fund: http://gofundme.com/civilpartnerships We’re currently £8,000 short of meeting our legal costs for the Judicial Review of the law that bars opposite-sex couples from civil partnerships. We’ve already contributed £6,500 of our own savings, but we need your help for this next stretch. Our case reaches the High Court on January 19th and 20th, so your funds will be put to use immediately. If you can, please donate to our legal fund. Any amount, however big or small, will be gratefully received. Use Mr Postman to Write to Your MP: http://tinyurl.com/gmfy7tb We already have many supportive MPs, but we need even more to hear about the campaign for #EqualCivilPartnerships and especially about why it matters to you, their constituents. We’ve teamed up with Mr Postman so that you can tell your MP directly. A limited number of letters have been prepaid by a supporter, after that there is a small charge, so get in there quick to send them for free! We’re thrilled to have so many of you alongside us to demand change that is necessary, fair and reasonable. We wouldn’t have come so far without your ongoing support and look forward to keeping you posted during this exciting and vital next phase. Thanks again for all of your support. Charles and Rebecca @EqualCPs
