Please Read, Take Action and Forward

Dear Ian,

Our hard work is paying off. We expect that tomorrow a pro-equality majority in the legislature will defeat the constitutional amendment that would take away equal marriage rights from same-sex couples.

But its not over. Our opponents are actually trying to claim that the defeat of the anti-gay amendment is their victory. They want to use the Constitutional Convention as an opportunity to rally around a more mean-spirited amendment -- one that would take away marriage and leave same-sex couples with no protections for their families whatsoever. The Massachusetts Family Institute plans to flood the State House; they are urging their members to come early. We must not let our opponents succeed in seizing the momentum.

Please join us in Brockton today and at the State House tomorrow to demonstrate that Massachusetts strongly supports marriage equality and that we are proud to defeat this discriminatory amendment with a pro-equality majority. Bring your friends and family members.

Join us tonight for a beautiful and moving ceremony on the eve of the Constitutional Convention.

Tuesday, September 13th
Candlelight Vigil
5:45 PM
Brockton Candlelight Vigil
Unitarian Universalist Church of Brockton, 325 W Elm St
Brockton

Then come to the State House in Boston and help make history on Wednesday.

Wednesday, September 14th
Constitutional Convention
Convention begins at 1 PM
State House
Boston

Together, we have worked exceptionally hard to get to this point. Please help us show our legislators, and citizens throughout Massachusetts and the country, that we are resolute in our support for equal marriage rights.

Thank you very much. Together, we are making history.

Sincerely,

Marc Solomon
Political Director

P.S. If you plan to be in Boston for the Constitutional Convention, we'll be celebrating at Club Cafe (209 Columbus Ave.) after the vote.
