Dear supporters, Hopes and expectations are rising as, any week now, the Court of Appeal will issue its ruling on civil partnerships for mixed-sex couples. While we await the verdict of the three judges, this is a critical time to let the Government know our shared strength of feeling on this issue. Please come the extra mile with us. There are two important things you can do NOW: 1. Donate to the campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/ecpcampaigns We really need your donations to make civil partnerships a reality in 2017. Your funding enables the campaign to show MPs across the political spectrum that opening civil partnerships is popular, fair, good for families, and simple to introduce. Every donation shows that it is we the people calling for the change we are all seeking. We need your support. Please donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/ecpcampaigns 2. Write to the Minister for Women and Equalities, Justine Greening MP Thanks to one of our supporters, you can now use this specially designed tool, PostBug, to send an actual letter to the Minister for Women and Equalities, the Rt Hon Justine Greening MP. This is a great way to make your views heard, and experience suggests posted letters receive more attention than emails. The service costs just £1, which covers print and postage. Here’s the link: https://www.postbug.com/index.html#/pb/164 Finally, thank you for sticking with us over the last two years. You’ve been amazing. Without your support, this important issue - affecting thousands of families and children across the country - would not be on the agenda. As we await news from the Court, help the Campaign for Equal Civil Partnerships let policy-makers know where you stand by donating and keeping up the pressure. We’ll keep you posted. Seasons greetings, Rebecca and Charles PS Those details again: Donate to the campaign here: https://www.gofundme.com/ecpcampaigns Write to the Equalities Minister here: https://www.postbug.com/index.html#/pb/164
