Abstract:
This collection comprises the planning, administrative, and fundraising records created from the "No on Knight" initiative campaign (1999-2000). Photographs, audio-visual materials, and oversized items, such as banners and posters, are also included in this collection. The Knight Initiative or California's Proposition 22 (2000) sought to change the California definition of marriage by adding the phrase "Only a marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized." That proposal clearly outlawed same-sex marriages. The "No on Knight" initiative campaign was promptly organized by gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender political activists in an attempt to defeat Prop 22.
