The Advocate's list of our best friends and worst enemies when it comes to preserving the right of same-sex couples to marry in California. Here's your chance to get involved!

LGBTQ+ stories are more important than ever. Join us in fighting for our future. Support our journalism.

There's no better time than now to become an activist. California voters in November will decide whether same-sex couples should have the right to marry, and our friends and enemies are each planning campaigns that will cost an estimated $20 million-plus combined. Want to do more than donate? Let our friends and enemies know how you feel.?It's never been easier to call, pen a letter, or dash off an e-mail. The Advocate has done the legwork. Below you'll find contact information for groups and politicians who want to do away with same-sex marriage, and those who are working to preserve it.
