Election 2013: Join us in making equality a key issue

AME is running a high profile campaign in the 2013 federal election.

We intend to make marriage equality a central issue in the campaign. With a focus on key electorates, there will be important community events and a national survey of all candidates.

Our goal is to achieve a Coalition conscience vote and to encourage as many Labor candidates as possible to support reform.

If you want to help make this Australia's last marriage equality election, contact us by clicking here.
