Two weeks to go. Two weeks to organize. Two weeks to win the hearts and votes of a few more legislators. It was a powerful experience being here to see our allies at work; to see the people’s representatives taking their duty seriously. They have given us a two week reprieve to achieve consensus.

New England is a historic and beautiful place. Our country was birthed here and the marriage equality movement was birthed here as well.
