I have written here before on why we should have marriage equality; it is first and foremost about limiting the freedom to marry.
Need Volunteers for PRIDE
We just cannot miss this one-time opportunity to bring thousands of supporters into the campaign! There are going to be 300,000+ people in attendance. We are estimating that 75,000 of our supporters will be at Pride,but won’t vote unless we talk to them! This could be the margin of victory for the campaign. In order to talk to all of those people about the important work we are doing to defeat the amendment, we will need thousands of volunteers!
The work that you and others will be doing consists of talking to attendees of PRIDE about the amendment, getting them to pledge to vote NO in November and taking donations. Most likely, you will be with a team of 4 or 8 (including yourself) stationed near Loring Park in Minneapolis.
