Dear friends,<br><br>The Baltimore Ethical Society is asking all our friends to <br>Vote For Question 6 and support marriage equality on Election Day<br>next Tuesday. If you would like to help us get the word out about<br>
Question 6, here's what you can do:<br><br> * Join us for phone banking this Friday, 5-7 PM<br> * Hand out voter information guides on Election Day<br> * Tell 20 friends to vote for Question 6<br> * Contribute to Marylanders for Marriage Equality<br>
<br>BES is proud to be a member of the Marylanders for Marriage Equality<br>(MDFME) Coalition. Our members and friends have done phone banking<br>three times, held a fundraising party that drew 60 people and raised<br>almost $900, and "adopted" a polling place on Election Day where we<br>
take responsibility for providing voter information from 6:30 am to<br>8:00 pm. We're reaching out to our wider network of friends for help<br>in the last week before the election. If you would like to help,<br>please email <a href="mailto:bmorethical@gmail.com">bmorethical@gmail.com</a> or visit the MDFME website:<br>
<br> <a href="http://mdfme.org/electionday/">http://mdfme.org/electionday/</a><br><br>or "Like" MDFME on Facebook<br><br> <a href="http://fb.com/MD4Equality">http://fb.com/MD4Equality</a><br><br>Our activism continues after the election. Join BES on Thursday,<br>
November 8, at 5:00 pm at City Hall for a rally to oppose the<br>construction of the new youth jail, with keynote by Rev. Jesse<br>Jackson. BES belongs to the coalition Affirmative Youth Opportunity<br>(AYO) that believes we can act to reinvest the approved jail dollars<br>
to fund alternatives to detention, improve conditions for those who<br>need to be held, and rebuild Baltimore's system of recreation,<br>providing the basics in youth development opportunities while creating<br>jobs for adults and youth in our communities. Read more at<br>
