We’ve had a good couple of weeks, as a movement. Legitimate progress has been made in Iowa, Vermont, Washington DC, and conservatives have done… what, exactly? Released an ad that has been remixed and parodied to death?

Us: 3. Them: …-1?

We have a chance to run up the score a little more coming up in Maine, and tomorrow will be the public hearing on that opportunity. Equality Maine is asking supporters of marriage equality to attend the meeting tomorrow wearing red to show their solidarity.

Maine’s marriage campaign is moving to the next level.  The hearing on the marriage bill has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 22 at the Augusta Civic Center.  Make no mistake about it: April 22 will be the single most important day of this campaign outside of the final vote. The media, legislators, governor, and people of Maine will be watching.  We need you there.

Email april22@equalitymaine.org to RSVP for the marriage bill hearing. Be sure to include your name, address and phone number.

Our opponents already announced they will have over 1,000 people at the hearing.  We cannot let them outnumber us on this critical day.  The LGBT and allied community must come together like never before.

Please plan to bring your friends, family and children with you – this will be a family-friendly event.  RSVP at april22@equalitymaine.org.  Be sure to include your name, address and phone number.  Once you RSVP, our staff will be in touch with important details about the hearing.  Space will be limited, so we have to be organized and arrive early.
