   On November 2, millions of Americans will go to the polls. They will elect 435 members of the House of Representatives, 47 United States Senators, 37 governors, and thousands of state representatives. State and local policy will be decided. A lot is on the line.
But voting alone is not enough. This year, we must do more. To maximize participation in this election, we must register new voters and get people to the polls.
We need you to participate! Volunteer with PJA to register voters and get out the vote. By volunteering a few hours in the next month, you can help ensure that as many people as possible make their voices heard and vote. Email our L.A. Voter Engagement Coordinator, Aaron Phillips, to volunteer

Other than the opportunity to overeat at BBQs and getting a paid day off from work, I am not into celebrating the 4th of July. We all know the background story: Thomas Jefferson, wielding a pen, blows apart the relationship between Britain and its American colonies, eloquently extolling freedom and equality in the Declaration of Independence. Except that of course he owned slaves. And he had a long-term relationship with one of those slaves, Sally Hemings, with whom he had several children. And then those children were denied their heritage, not to mention remained stripped of their equal rights for many generations.

"I now pronounce you spouses for life,"
were the words of Rabbi Denise Eger, of Congregation Kol Ami (translation "Voice of My People"), under a chuppah, to Diane and Robin, making them the first couple married after the California Supreme Court's decision to uphold marriage equality. Mazel tov on a beautiful and groundbreaking simcha!
Rambles on chutzpah, Jewish/LGBTQ activism, the meaning of marriage in queer activism, the correlating historical trajectories of this moment and glee, after the jump.
