Our neighbors in Wisconsin are facing an anti-gay constitutional amendment in the November election. The proposal would deny permanently civil unions and marriage for lesbian and gay couples, and threatens other legal protections such as domestic partner benefits. Organizations working for LGBT rights in Illinois, including the ACLU of Illinois, organized volunteer days in Milwaukee where Illinois residents committed to fairness and relationship recognition can help our friends to the north.

On Saturday, October 28th, Illinois volunteers will canvass from 12:00 noon to 4:30 p.m., this time meeting at the West Granville Presbyterian Church, located at 6935 North 107th Street in Milwaukee.
