The California Council of Churches and IMPACT celebrate the U.S. Supreme Court Decision Upholding Marriage Equality!

We are proud to be the lead petitioner in an acclaimed amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold marriage equality.  The California Council of Churches has long been the largest faith-based organization in California actively working to achieve full equality and rights for all God's children, including our LGBTQ sisters and brothers.  From being the first Council of Churches in the nation to welcome the Metropolitan Community Churches with open arms, to advocating and educating for justice and equality for over 40 years, we have been at the forefront of the struggle.  We have filed many Amicus Briefs in support of marriage equality in state and federal courts.  Thanks to the ever-brilliant Eric Alan Isaacson, the brief he submitted on our behalf to the US Supreme Court in the current case is quoted in the article below.

May justice and equality prevail for ALL God's children!!
