Members, a PowerPoint presentation is available to assist you in discussing the psychological issues related to marriage equality. Click here to download it.
The MPA Marriage Equality Task Force welcomed members Mindy Benowitz, Tom Carrillo, Dan Christensen, Tom Harbaugh, Heather Johnson, Daniel Legerski, Dan Rebek, Kay Slama, Diane Stellrecht, and Ann Marie Vorbach and began its work implementing MPA’s resolution to oppose the state constitutional marriage amendment which will be on the ballot in November 2012.
Task force chair Marge Charmoli noted that “I’m absolutely thrilled with the response from MPA members to volunteer for this project. It’s another demonstration of how deeply psychologists care about this issue”.
The task force began its work to develop a position paper, plan educational events for MPA members and the public, conduct a media campaign, and collaborate with other organizations to inject the voice of psychology into the public debate surrounding the amendment.
As part of its educational campaign, the task force is collaborating with MPA’s Annual Convention to bring in nationally recognized psychologists who have participated as expert witnesses or researchers in other states that have had similar initiatives. We are looking for sponsors and exhibitors to help finance these efforts.
If you know of any individual or organization that might be willing to sponsor speakers or be an exhibitor at our annual convention, please contact Marge Charmoli at drcharmoli@visi.com or at 651-276-5202.
