Equality California Endorses Congressional Candidates in Four Competitive California Districts

May 16, 2018 - LOS ANGELES

With early voting underway ahead of California’s June 5th primary election, Equality California, the nation’s largest statewide LGBTQ civil rights organization, announced the endorsements of four pro-equality candidates in some of the state’s most competitive Congressional districts: Michael Eggman in CA-10, Harley Rouda in CA-48, Sara Jacobs in CA-49 and Ammar Campa-Najjar in CA-50.

“The road to a pro-equality majority in the U.S. House of Representatives runs right through California,” said Equality California Executive Director Rick Zbur. “On behalf of our 800,000 members, we’re proud to stand with these exceptional Congressional candidates and appreciate their commitment to stand with the LGBTQ community in the fight for full equality and social justice.”

Rainbows Are Out for Sunday’s Davis Pride Run and Festival

They’re painting the town in rainbows – literally – to celebrate Davis Pride, and to welcome more than 1,500 people for the fourth annual fun run and festival on Sunday, May 20.

On Mother’s Day, Davis Pride volunteers painted two crosswalks with rainbow colors, leading pedestrians to Davis’ Central Park, the event’s venue. On Friday morning, they will use temporary chalk paint to stripe nine more crosswalks.

The free festival, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will fill the park with music, food and support for the LGBTQ+ community.

In fact, that theater is currently showing “Tully,” a cinematic salute to motherhood starring Charlize Theron as a stressed-out mom of three who bonds with her free-spirited nanny.
