About Freedom to Marry

Freedom to Marry is the leading campaign working to win marriage nationwide. We partner with a diverse range of organizations and supporters across the country to end the exclusion of same-sex couples from the responsibilities, protections, and commitment of marriage.

Freedom to Marry is:

• Building a nationwide majority for marriage by educating the public about why marriage matters,
• Working to win marriage in more states by providing support and resources to state and local efforts,
• Promoting nationwide progress by empowering supporters – regardless of sexual orientation – to take effective action.

Freedom to Marry fills four principal roles in the marriage movement. We are a:

• Catalyst driving the national debate on the freedom to marry;
• Grassroots network of activists building support for marriage online and on the ground;
• Strategy and messaging center providing support to local, state, and national allies;
• Funding engine helping to fuel the marriage movement nationwide.

Founded in 2003 by Evan Wolfson, one of America's leading civil rights advocates and lawyers, Freedom to Marry is a non-partisan, not-for-profit 501c(3) organization. Read Evan Wolfson's Biography
