Welcome to the virtual campaign webpage. Notes to Jim will be uploaded here weekly. Please visit this page often for a fresh view.

June 26, 2025 marks 10 years since the Obergefell v. Hodges decision made marriage equality the law of the land—and it all started in Ohio. Jim Obergefell and his late husband, John Arthur, stood up for love and justice, changing the course of history for LGBTQ+ people across the nation.

As we celebrate this milestone, we’re inviting you to join us in saying thank you to Jim while he’s still here to hear it. Whether marriage equality impacted your life personally or you simply want to honor a legacy of courage and the work ahead, you can share your message with the world below.

Sign onto our thank you card for Jim Obergefell, the named plaintiff in this decision—and a legendary Ohioan, and namesake of Equality Ohio’s donor group, Obergefell & Arthur Society.

Your note will be included in a commemorative card that we’ll deliver to Jim in person—on behalf of all of us—during a livestream on June 20. We’ll regularly post notes on this webpage to view and share.
