Local Activists State the Case |
|
AtMP supporters have been taking action to hold the media and
elected officials accountable for fairness towards unmarried people. In
April: Jim (MN) and Roger (MS) wrote letters to the New York Times
to commend its coverage of inequitable income taxation for unmarried
people. In May: Yvonne (DC) wrote to 6 local media outlets urging them
to cover AtMP's statement on marital status discrimination in housing;
and (while attending an AtMP fundraising party in Boston, MA) Ulla,
Tom, Mike, Sarah, Patricia, Dave, Eric, Dana and John signed postcards
educating legislators about how proposed state constitutional
amendments affect unmarried people. In June: Larry (MO) wrote his US
Senators and Congressman against the proposed federal marriage
amendment. Go Team!!
You can be an activist simply by voting in your local elections.
Make sure you're registered to vote! Many websites offer printable
registration forms—the League of Women Voters' site is especially informative.
