MassEquality supporters still willing to roll up their sleeves

MassEquality unveiled its post-marriage amendment agenda for 2008 to a crowd of about 30 supporters Jan. 29 at St. Paul's Cathedral in Boston. The Boston event was part of a series of organizing forums MassEquality is holding across the state to urge their members who mobilized around the marriage issue to support the organization's broader agenda of advocacy around transgender rights, LGBT youth and elder issues, LGBT domestic violence and HIV/AIDS. MassEquality campaign director Marc Solomon said the organization's efforts to rally its supporters around the diverse issues in its 2008 agenda is an "experiment" to see whether the volunteers who turned out in droves to support marriage will do the same on other issues.
