We Couldn’t Agree More: ABA Backs Marriage Equality
Aug 10, 2010
“RESOLVED, That the American Bar Association urges state, territorial, and tribal governments to eliminate all of their legal barriers to civil marriage between two persons of the same sex who are otherwise eligible to marry.”
And with those words, the American Bar Association (ABA) today overwhelming voted to support equal marriage rights for all lesbian and gay couples— across the nation.

CORI Reform Passes the House
May 27, 2010
The Massachusetts CORI Reform Bill passed in the House Wednesday with a vote of 138 to 7! This is the last major step before the House and Senate bills are merged and sent to the Governor for his approval. GLAD is proud to share this victory with the Boston Workers Alliance and the countless other allies and supporters of the Commonwealth CORI Coalition. This reform legislation would limit employers’ access to the criminal records of job applicants and reduce the number of years until felony and misdemeanor charges can be sealed.

And this year is no different. That’s why we want you to join us on June 12 as we march for equal justice under law for all.
