Organization Spotlight: Maine Freedom to Marry

Maine Freedom to Marry has been at the forefront of the efforts to bring marriage equality to the state by raising awareness about same-sex marriage. Now the organization is fighting to defeat amendment 1 which would eliminate the rights of same-sex couples to marry, which will be on the ballot this November.

Steps to Take to Protect Marriage in Maine

Just a few months ago the state of Maine made history by legalizing same-sex marriage, but right wing opponents are ready to bring the issue to a vote on the ballot come November. Mainers are equally split similarly to how the voting turned out in California's proposition 8 on whether same-sex couples should have the right to marry.

Please join the Maine Freedom to Marry campaign to ensure that we keep marriage equality as the law of the land.

Steps to take:

Take the pledge to support marriage fairness.

Donate money to the campaign.

Volunteer to help out the campaign (Maine & out of state residents)

Start a cyber campaign to fund raise for MFTM.

Make your voice heard by blogging for equality.

Take Action for Marriage Equality in Maine

A bill to make marriage between same-sex couples legal and to reverse the existing ban on same-sex marriage in Maine will be brought up for a vote in the legislature. The bill is sponsored by Senator Dennis Damon (D-Hancock).

The Maine Freedom to Marry Coalition is asking for people to get involved:

• Talk with your legislators and senators.

• Write a letter to the editor, and talk to the media.

• Volunteer with MFMC.
