Dear friends
100 cities. Tens of thousands of people, united against marriage equality.
The National Front for the Family is a massive coalition of conservative religious groups who organized one of the largest campaigns against equality in Mexico’s history last month.
The future for same-sex couples was looking a little bit brighter in Mexico. The Supreme Court declared marriage equality bans unconstitutional and Mexico’s President recently vowed to legalize marriage across the country.
But the National Front for the Family is moving fast. They’re well-organised, well-funded and supported by a powerful network of right-wing politicians, the church, and anti-gay groups in other countries. Their goal? Amend the constitution and reverse the progress towards nation-wide marriage equality.
We haven’t come this far in the fight for equality to let the bigots and homophobes turn back the clock. We need to gather together all the support we can right now, so we’re ready for this long fight.
Luc, power that fight by becoming an Equality Champion today. We need 327 people to join before midnight on October 31st.
A few weeks ago, Ludovine de la Rochère, president of French anti-gay group "Manif pour tous", went all the way from Paris to join forces with fellow haters Latin America. With help from powerful international allies, this wave of hate could spill over the borders of Mexico.
The only way to build our own global coalitions that defies the work of the National Front for the Family is through the ongoing support of Equality Champions. With your support, we can run powerful, long-term campaigns that bring them down.
When hundreds of thousands of marchers protested against marriage equality in 2013 in France, All Out members helped combat their hate with our own marriage equality demonstrations in 16 cities. These demonstrations helped build the critical momentum needed for marriage equality to pass.
Thanks for going All Out,Matt Beard, Executive Director
