On May 26, 2009 the California Supreme Court issued a ruling upholding the constitutionality of Prop 8 which bans gay marriages in the state. Soulforce of Colorado held a nonviolent direct action that same afternoon to protest the ruling and also remind Colorado that marriage equality does not exist here either. The direct action had two parts. First, there was a traditional picket along Colfax in front of the Webb Administration Building. Second Soulforce volunteers staged a sit-in at the clerk and recorder’s office where marriage licenses are issued.
