Create an Override Club to win marriage equality!
Garden State Equality will provide a free kickoff dinner for your Override Club members.
We’ve never had another question asked of us so often. “What can I do to help Garden State Equality override the Governor’s veto of the marriage equality bill?” It’s a very achievable goal: We have until the end of the legislative session, January 2014, to win enough votes in the New Jersey Legislature to override.
Here’s what you can do: Gather at least nine other friends and neighbors outside your family who all live in your state legislative district – and voila! You’ve just formed a Garden State Equality Override Club. You can all be part of the same local organization or congregation, or not. The others can be folks on your block or your friends across the district.
Your Override Club will meet every month right in your neck of the woods. Garden State Equality will provide a free kickoff dinner for your Override Club members. Each subsequent month, we’ll provide you new organizing tools and strategies. All you need to provide are the Override Club members and a shared commitment to overriding the Governor’s veto of the marriage equality bill.
If you would like to create an Override Club, please email OverrideClub@GardenStateEquality.org your name, municipality and cell phone number. Put OVERRIDE CLUB in the subject line of your email. You don’t need to include or even know, yet, the names of the nine others you would ask to join.
How can you find out which of your friends and neighbors live in your district? Visit www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/municipalities.asp and once you’re on that page, click on your municipality. You’ll then see your district’s other municipalities. In New Jersey there are no separate state Senate and Assembly districts. You live in one state legislative district represented by one state Senator and two Assembly members.
Again, if you would like to create an Override Club, please email OverrideClub@GardenStateEquality.org your name, municipality and cell phone number. Put OVERRIDE CLUB in the subject line of your email. You don’t need to include or even know, yet, the names of the nine others you would ask to join.
Thanks from all of us at Garden State Equality.
