At this month's membership meeting, PD endorsed Action Wisconsin's campaign against a proposed Wisconsin constitutional amendment banning marriage and civil unions between same sex couples.
In order to be enacted, the amendment would need to be approved by the Wisconsin Legislature twice, and then approved by a statewide referendum. The Legislature has approved the amendment once, in March 2004. It is expected to vote again this spring. If approved, the amendment will go before voters this fall.
Action Wisconsin is already working hard across the state to defeat this discriminatory and damaging amendment and to keep hate out of our state constitution. PD will join their efforts here in Dane County by helping to educate our membership and the public; turning out volunteers for phone banks, canvasses, and events; and helping get out the no vote in November. To get involved, contact Satya Vadia through this link. For more information, visit http://www.actionwisconsin.org/amendment/.
