What an exciting and nerve-wracking moment: Our landmark case for equal civil partnerships reaches the High Court TOMORROW. We can’t believe this day is very nearly here.
We would love to see and meet you at the hearing tomorrow or on Wednesday, so please do come along if you can. We will be having a photo call outside the Royal Courts of Justice at 9.15am tomorrow (Tuesday 19 January). The hearing will then begin at 10.30am in court 19. The judge is Mrs Justice Andrews. Any changes will be listed here https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/court-lists/list-rcj and on a notice board behind the main enquiry desk to the RCJ - look for our surnames and case number CO/6008/2014.
And if you can't make it to the court, you can catch us on:
• BBC Radio 5 Live at 6.45/6.50am
• The Today Programme at 7.20am
• BBC Breakfast at 7.40am
• BBC News throughout the day
• ITV News at 6pm
For updates on the case during the hearing, keep an eye on @EqualCPs on Twitter.
We’re being inundated with your wonderful messages and Tweets of support, as well as donations to our crowd-funding effort, for which we are enormously appreciative. Thank you SO MUCH.
We’re still some way off meeting our legal costs though, so if you can, please donate to our Legal Fund today: http://gofundme.com/civilpartnerships. We wouldn’t have been able to come so far without your financial support. Any amount, however big or small, will be gratefully received.
Please also Tweet and/or email your MPs to alert them to the case and your reasons for supporting it (using #EqualCivilPartnerships). It’s crucial that we build on the momentum of the case. Every MP around the country needs to know that their constituents care about this issue, and that we're not going to stop talking about it until civil partnerships are open to all!
Thank you for your support,
Charles and Rebecca
