Dear friends,
Wow – things are getting close in Australia! Two weeks down and only six to go until the future of marriage equality is determined by a massive postal survey vote happening right now.
Every Australian citizen over the age of 18 has been mailed a ballot and the chance to let Parliament know whether or not they support marriage equality in their country.
Recent polls show that barely over half of Australians support marriage equality. That's no guarantee that enough people will vote YES.
So we're getting out the vote in a BIG way. Because we need to reach as many people as possible before the postal vote deadline in just a few weeks!
With your help, our message supporting love and equality will be soaring across the sky of Australia's biggest city. Just imagine how many voters this could reach!
If 254 more people donate, we can fly over Sydney for 2 hours. With 1,746 more donations, we can fund it for an entire day!
Australia's postal vote isn't legally binding – it won't force marriage equality to become law. But the outcome of the vote is incredibly important. If the majority of Australians vote NO, marriage equality is off the table and won’t be voted on in Parliament.
That's why we need to go BIG and encourage every Australian we can to vote YES. It's the only way Parliament will consider voting on marriage equality.
Anything donated above the amount needed will go directly towards fueling All Out's work with our partners on the ground in Australia, and beyond, fighting for the equality, safety, and dignity of our LGBT communities.
Thanks for going All Out,
Matt Beard
