My name is Robin Mavis. I've been involved in the Wiccan and Pagan communities regularly for a year now. I'm also a community organizer in my own school district for equal rights for the GLBT community as an ally. I've been asked by Minnesotans United For All Families to be the coordinator for organizing the Pagan and Wiccan faith community to come together and defeat the proposed marriage amendment that will be on our state's ballot November 2012. I understand most covens, lodges, circles and organized groups do not involve themselves politically, but I was wondering if you would be willing to pass on information to your members on how they can contact me if they are interested in joining this effort as individuals. Of course, if your group would be willing to make a formal statement, that would be awesome too! Many congregations of faith are doing so and it would not jeapordize your IRS standing as a non-profit. Religious organizations are allowed to take public positions on ballot issues such as marriage, reproductive rights, etc. They are only restricted from campagning or endorsing individual candidates for political office. I can be reached by email at arm2189@gmail.com I've also started a Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/PAW.MNUnited and am holding a First Footing and Organizing House Party on January 1st. The facebook event is here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/events/262181107173641/ Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I would love to hear from you and if you can offer any suggestions on other groups, organizations or covens to reach out to I would greatly appreciate it!
