Jessica Shipley, the event host, writes:
On Friday, October 17, students from the Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP) at UC-Berkeley teamed up with Campus Progress to host a fundraiser to defeat Proposition 8. Proposition 8 (Prop. 8) is a ballot initiative in California that would amend the state constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry.
Students listening to the pitch.
The fundraiser was a great success, bringing in more than $5,000 from over 70 people who attended the event. An additional $1,200 was donated from other sources. Beverages and snacks were served at the event and attendees also enjoyed delicious treats from Cesar, a Spanish Tapas restaurant.
At the encouragement of GSPP student Jeff Pertl, many attendees also volunteered their time to the campaign to defeat Prop 8 in the days leading up to, and on Election Day.
The hosts would like to thank Campus Progress for supporting this event and helping us make it enjoyable for all our guests!
