Dear supporters, On Wednesday 2nd November, we will be making our case for #equalcivilpartnerships at the Court of Appeal. Please come down - your support will make a huge difference. Join us for coffee and pastries at 9am outside the Royal Courts of Justice on The Strand. Alistair Carmichael MP, who helped push same-sex marriage through Parliament, and author and LGBT campaigner Owen Jones will be there too. Your public support will speak volumes. Just come along on the day or sign up here https://www.facebook.com/events/371369619861885/ Reasons to be hopeful The first ever different-sex civil partnership in the British Isles took place in the Isle of Man two weeks ago, putting more pressure on the Government to open civil partnerships to all. We will be doing all we can to make this a reality on 2nd November. But you can help too. The campaign needs your support. Please consider making a donation if you can. Here’s the link: https://www.gofundme.com/ECPcampaigns It’s been almost two years since we started this effort. Since then, we’ve moved home (twice!), had a baby, and gone through a few sleepless nights. We couldn’t have maintained our case or campaign without your encouragement and support. Thank you. We’ll keep you posted. Rebecca Steinfeld and Charles Keidan #equalcivilpartnerships @EqualCPs PS Event details again: Where: Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand, London When: 9am, Wednesday 2nd November http://equalcivilpartnerships.org.uk
