- PHONE VOTERS TO DEFEAT PROP 1 in Maine

On May 6, 2009 Maine ended discrimination in marriage for same-sex couples. This victory was the result of thousands of people who came forward to support marriage for all Maine families. The legislature and Governor followed the people’s lead and passed this landmark legislation.

But the fight is not over. Opponents of marriage equality want to turn back the clock. They are working to place a measure on the ballot – modeled after California’s Prop 8 – to take away the right of same-sex couples to marry in Maine.

This November, voters in Maine will be asked:

“Do you want to reject the new law that lets same-sex couples marry and allows individuals and religious groups to refuse to perform these marriages?”

HELP increase voter turnout to defeat this detrimental referendum by volunteering to call voters in Maine.

- HELP ORGANIZE A CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT TEAM WITH OTHERS IN YOUR LOCAL AREA.  

EqualityNYC.org is working with Equality Across America to build a grassroots network  for full federal equalty.  We have assembled a new page on our website calling for volunteers for each Congressional District in the New York Metropolitan area. Please review our team listings and contact us directly at changebuilders@msn.com to volunteer.

We are looking to organize these teams immediately and will assist in planning a local organizing event to help start the process of recruiting and moblizing people to work for full equality in each local area of the city.
