Empowering people to make a difference

This Movement empowers persons of faith to be Marriage Equality advocates, particularly for action relative to pending or approved Marriage Equality Laws that are under attack. Transparent support of Marriage Equality by people of faith will counterbalance faith-based efforts to overthrow it.

"How can people of faith actively support marriage equality? Only saying 'I’m supportive', is not very helpful. What can Individuals do to help?"

The movement starts with committed persons who choose to be visibly active in support of Marriage Equality. They know what they can do, and they are prepared to speak out in support. Many encourage their friends and colleagues to support marriage equality. They may do so by gathering small groups of individuals for coffee/tea and conversation about what individuals can do to actively support marriage equality. Specific activities for supporting marriage equality present participants with options from which each person can decide what they will put into practice.

 The website also provides “Case Statements” and other resources to help participants better understand the issues. A Case Statement is a written rationale that addresses claims made by opponents of marriage equality.

Among the activities Marriage Equality advocates can promote are:

• Sharing personal stories
• Encouraging others to take action
• Displaying pins, stickers and buttons
• Becoming familiar with National and State advocacy organizations
• Learning to use Case Statements
• Challenging derogatory, tasteless, or hateful remarks
• Rallying others to participate in the movement
• Brainstorming other ideas
