Dear R.,

Yesterday, we learned that a radical right-wing group is funding the effort to take away marriage rights from loving, committed families in Maryland.

That's right, the National Organization for Marriage has given equality opponents in Maryland $25,000 in cash with an additional $58,000 in in-kind donations. And yes, this same group said:

"The strategic goal... is to drive a wedge between gays and blacks"

We don't stand for the stale, old politics of racial division in Maryland.  Fight back by donating $5, $25, $50 or as much as you can to match the $83,000 that NOM is using to divide us.

Marriage equality is about building stronger families and protecting children of same-sex couples, and their efforts to divide Marylanders based on race is a tactic that will hurt us all.

Donate $10, $25, $50 or whatever you can today and stop the other side from using race to divide us.

Regardless of where you are on this issue, there is no room for racial division. 

Sincerely,

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake

P.S. NOM is a well-funded national organization.We're going to need all the help we can get to help combat them. Please consider donating today.
