Julie Sullivan-Crowley writes, “My spouse Lianne and I were stripped of our legally married status and dubbed ‘civil unionized’ upon moving to New Jersey. Problem is, civil unions don't work. See for yourself: http://www.civilunionsdontwork.com. Please join Garden State Equality for a good old fashioned neighborhood action summit. It's just an hour of your time where we will each make a few phone calls and write a few letters.” Refreshments will be served. RSVP to Brain McGinnis at mcginnis@gardenstateequality.org.
