Tonight : Vermont Public Hearing on Marriage Equality Bill

March 18, 2009

Tonight from 6-8:30 is a public hearing at the State House in Montpelier, Vermont to hear public testimony on a bill to end discrimination in marriage. All week long, the Vermont legislature hosted hearings on this bill, and tonight is the public's chance to share their voice.

The hearing is hosted by the Senate Judiciary Committee. A sign-up sheet for those who wish to speak will be available at 5:30. An overflow crowd is expected, so folks are encouraged to arrive early to get a seat inside the House Chamber. (There will be overflow rooms available.) People can bring written testimony whether or not they intend to speak to leave with the committee.

Take action in Vermont, talk to your friends and family about how Vermont could be the next state to win marriage equality, and follow here to find out how the hearing went.
