Something amazing happened last week. At the Senate hearing on civil marriage, I realized something: We are at the beginning of a new era in civil rights history. And we’ve arrived here because of the courage and commitment of people like you.

It was a remarkable moment. But at the same time, I know that the possibility of a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex civil marriage in America remains a serious threat. We will face many difficult battles in the weeks and months ahead as we seek to defeat it. Your continued commitment is essential.

Anti-gay conservatives are raising millions of dollars to conduct a divisive campaign against gay and lesbian families. We're bracing ourselves for the most hateful rhetoric yet from the conservative voices that dominate our country's leadership and airwaves.

That's why I’m asking you to take the next step today. You've signed the petition, you’ve told your friends, you’ve taken action.

Now, let's match our opponents - dollar for dollar, and action for action. Please, make a contribution to help us combat the right-wing’s powerful campaign of fear and division. With your financial support, we will continue to build support for civil marriage equality, defeat the constitutional amendment, and triumph in this historic battle for a fairer and more just America. I hope I can count on you.

Thank you so much,

Elizabeth Birch,
Executive Director, Human Rights Campaign
