The statewide LGBT advocacy group Equality California is reducing its field operations after next week’s elections. The move comes as EQCA shifts strategy in its public education efforts around marriage equality, and as the federal Proposition 8 legal case is fast-tracked through the courts.
EQCA Executive Director Geoff Kors said this week that the field office closings were still being finalized, but the Fresno, Orange County, and San Jose offices would close sometime in November. He said the Riverside office hasn’t been open for most of the year. He said the goal is to keep offices in Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and the Inland Empire/Coachella Valley open.
“We are significantly reducing the door-to-door canvass program and increasing the coalition work,” and other activities, including EQCA’s speakers bureau, he said.
