NYCLU Relaunches Fight For Marriage

The NYCLU has begun a campaign to relaunch the fight for marriage equality in New York.

All New Yorkers deserve the freedom to marry. New Yorkers across the state and political spectrum agree, and so does the State Assembly and Governor Paterson. Sadly, at the end of 2009, the New York State Senate voted against marriage fairness. Though the vote was a significant disappointment, the NYCLU knows it is just a matter of time before all New York families are provided the protection that marriage offers. The majority of New Yorkers support fair marriage laws that protect lesbian and gay families, and the day will come when we achieve that goal. But we need your help to make that happen. Please join the campaign to make New York the next victory for fairness. Get involved today! To see more videos and to take action, go to www.marriageny.com.

The NYCLU, in collaboration with the LGBT Community Center and the Office of Congressman Jerrold Nadler, looks at discrimination against LGBT families in our immigration system and the ongoing efforts to reform the system in Congress through the Uniting American Families Act and comprehensive immigration reform. Citizen/Non-Citizen highlights the heart wrenching story of Britta and Carla, a married same-sex binational couple living in New York City fighting to stay together in the United States.
