Triangle Action Fund, along with the Human Rights Campaign and Michigan Equality are hosting four Get Out the Vote (GOTV) Rallies throughout Michigan. Other LGBT co-sponsors are: WRAP, Kalamazoo Alliance for Fairness and Equality (KAFE), Lansing Association for Human Rights (LAHR), and Coalition for Adoption Rights Equality (CARE). Allied co-sponsors of the rallies are: American Civil Liberties Union, Planned Parenthood, Michigan Citizen Action, EMILYÕs List, National Organization for Women (NOW) and One United Michigan.
THESE RALLIES ARE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE LGBT COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE A VALUABLE SERVICE TO OTHER PROGRESSIVE ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS ELECTION SEASON. America Votes is an umbrella organization of many progressive groups, of which HRC is a national sponsor. These rallies come at a time when they are trying to fill over a thousand volunteer shifts over the four day period culminating in Election Day. Because of the timing of these rallies WE STAND TO MAKE A MAJOR IMPACT IN THIS ELECTION.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP? PLEASE HELP PROMOTE THESE EVENTS. The locations, dates, times, and links to online registration are below.

Thanks for all of the hard work you do on behalf of the LGBT community in Michigan. I hope that our work together will increase the influence that you have on political leaders throughout the State and elected officials in Lansing.
