[Owen Broadhurst]

*Action Needed: Judiciary Committee to Hold Hearing on Discriminatory
Marriage Amendment
**
*

Dear Owen,

It's official! Massachusetts legislators are about to turn their attention
once again to the fight for marriage equality, and we need your support more
than ever!

Next Tuesday, April 11th, at 10 AM, the Judiciary Committee will hold a
public hearing on the new discriminatory constitutional amendment to take
away the rights of same-sex couples to marry.

*Please contact your
legislators<http://www.mebuilder.com/12/lt/t_go.php?i=370&e=MjcxNDI5MA==&l=http://www.massequality.org/action/hearing.php>and
tell them to stand up for marriage equality.
*

If you can, please attend the
hearing<http://www.mebuilder.com/12/lt/t_go.php?i=370&e=MjcxNDI5MA==&l=http://www.massequality.org/events/--Q-id--E-10008>to
show legislators that Massachusetts voters oppose amending the
Constitution to take away marriage rights from same-sex couples. The hearing
will be in Room A-1 of the State House. Be sure to pick up your MassEquality
stickers on the way in.

This hearing marks the first step in the upcoming legislative fight to
defend marriage equality. Once the amendment is heard in committee, the
legislature can consider the amendment at their Constitutional Convention
scheduled for May 10 th. *Opponents of equality need only 50 votes* to move
the amendment process forward.
