Its nice to have so many allies from around the country coming out in support of the effort to defeat Amendment One. One such partner is Democracy for America (DFA), a nationwide grassroots PAC with one million members strong.
Equality is not a privilege, it is a right, said Jim Dean (@TheJimDean), Chair of DFA. We cannot ask our gay and lesbian community members and their families to accept anything less than true equality Amendment One is an attack on all families regardless of their make-up and should be voted down on May 8th.
It is time that bigotry take a backseat to true equality, said Arshad Hasan, Executive Director of DFA. We are a country whose greatest strength is our ability to cherish all people, regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation. Amendment One moves our country and North Carolina in the wrong direction.
I asked Jim Dean to expand on DFAs interest in what is happening North Carolina and why people outside of NC should get involved; heres what he had to say.
