ACLU of Illinois
Tomorrow the California Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in our case challenging the constitutionality of Proposition 8, which, as you know, seeks to eliminate the right to marry for same sex couples. The case will be argued from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., CST, and can be watched at:
http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/courts/supre
The ACLU and several other organizations and municipalities filed suit challenging the validity of Proposition 8 in the California Supreme court. The lawsuits allege that, on its face, Proposition 8 is an improper revision rather than an amendment of the California Constitution because, in its very title, which was "Eliminates the right to marry for same-sex couples," the initiative eliminated an existing right only for a targeted minority. Such a serious revision of the CA constitution cannot be enacted through a simple majority vote, but must first be approved by two-thirds of the legislature.

RECENT ACTIVITY
ACLU of Illinois edited their Company Overview and Mission.
Priya Thank you ACLU, from a child welfare social worker. I am a little stunned at your incredibly quick success, and thrilled that my colleagues will be back to work on Monday and my clients will keep getting so much that they would have lost. We all needed the good news so badly.
