//We will keep fighting! //    Members of the Community Church are mobilizing **against the proposed Amendment to the NC Constitution** which, if passed by popular vote on the May 8th primary, would ban civil unions and invalidate all existing domestic partnerships, other than marriage. This would deny legal rights and benefits to thousands of families, including both opposite and same sex unmarried couples, and their children. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Task Force to //**Oppose Amendment One**// has put together the tools we need to defeat this amendment. It is setting up phone banks and offering training. It has talking points to help you speak to your friends, family, and neighbors. It can help you register to vote. It can give you the facts. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; text-align: left;">**More Information:** **Click <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">HERE ** **t****o return to the** **Standing on the Side of Love Ministry** **main page.**
