Many thanks to the amazing grassroots volunteers — including several first timers — who packed Campaign Central last night to fight for progress! Team Englin partnered with the City of Alexandria’s Office of Human Rights and Human Rights Commission to identify voters to defeat the Marshall/Newman Amendment (the so-called “marriage amendment”), which will be Question 1 on the ballot on November 7.
The Alexandria City Council unanimously passed a resolution expressing its official opposition to the amendment, enabling City offices and commissions to partner actively with Team Englin’s grassroots army to support the Commonwealth Coalition’s non-partisan campaign to defeat the amendment.
“It was wonderful to see so many volunteers last night. Thanks to your hard work, we made nearly 1,400 phone calls to specific individuals whom we will drag to polls to Vote NO on election day,” said David, thanking the volunteers. “Every call you made was another step toward turning back the tide of hate on November 7 and becoming the kind of Commonwealth and the kind of country we aspire to be. When we defeat this constitutional abomination, you’ll be able to say that you personally had hand in its demise. It’s an honor to stand with you in this fight for progress.”
