Description

Longstanding LGBTI rights organisations, grassroots campaigners and politicians have combined to support the Yes! campaign.

We unequivocally condemn the idea of using a non-compulsory postal survey vote – a postal ‘plebiscite’ – especially when it has no power to compel MPs to vote according to the result. But we acknowledge a postal vote could still become reality, depending on the success of the High Challenge.

In partnership with the Equality Campaign, we face a time of change - a time to galvanise and a time to fight for our love to be recognised in law.

To make marriage equality the law, it's going to take hundreds of thousands of ordinary Australians having conversations with their friends, family and neighbours.

Momentum for change continues to grow and you can be at the marriage equality battle frontline with people from across the nation. Join us for a QandA about how we got here, where to next and how to activate.
