"It was a bit of fate, I think, that AtMP was the only result of my online search for a nearby internship when I graduated from college; the organization turned out to be one with which I really connected. At that time, as a twenty-something woman, I was beginning to feel pressure from friends and exes getting married along with internal fear about finding my “happily ever after.” And I hated it. So I was thrilled to discover AtMP, an organization that, by standing up for unmarried people, works to end legal discrimination on the basis of marital status and combat cultural stereotypes of single/unmarried people. I served as an intern until I joined the Board of Directors in 2003. Since then, I have had the honor of serving as the website administrator, giving press interviews, and participating in various projects to further AtMP’s mission. I am so proud to be a part of an organization doing such important work, especially at a time when our social freedoms are under constant attack. AtMP is increasingly important as a voice of reason when it comes to issues like same-sex marriage, cohabitation, and marriage promotion."
