Urge Public Employers To Keep Domestic Partner Benefits!

On February 2nd, 2007 the Michigan Court of Appeals released the most anti-LGBT ruling in Michigan's history. The Court held that the 2004 Michigan Constitutional amendment banning marriage equality also prohibits public employers in Michigan (such as cities, school districts, community college and universities) from being able to offer domestic partnership benefits. These benefits are often used to provide important resources such as health care to public employee's partners and their partner's children.

This is your opportunity to contact the leadership of public employers who have not yet announced what they are going to do regarding DP Benefits. There are options available to them and we'd like to help them utilize these options so that their employees will continue to have access to these important benefits.
