Marriage for All Families: Four-Part Series from Washington, Minnesota, Maryland, & Maine

Made in each of the states that have marriage equality votes this November, these short shares the experiences of same-sex couples who want to get married.

They have the same challenges, responsibilities, and aspirations as any other couple—but they are strangers in the eyes of the law. That’s why marriage equality is so important: it aligns personality reality with legal reality, as a simple matter of fairness.

Minnesota: http://youtu.be/ZhfdcfZ-yLE
Washington: http://youtu.be/LtTE773K9EY
Maryland: http://youtu.be/R-a2lQ48-oM

The series is produced in association with The Four, a social media campaign to support marriage equality this election day. Find them on Tumblr here: http://TheFour.com.

How Corporate Cash Threatens the Environment

If there’s one issue that hasn’t been talked about enough in this election, it’s the environment.

Yet the difference between the parties is stark: Republicans, bankrolled by polluters like the Koch Brothers, want to cut the EPA and rollback or weaken vital environmental protections like the Clean Air and Clean Water Act, laws that ensure millions of Americans can breath our air and drink our water safely.

Mitt Romney calls the EPA “a tool in the hands of the President to crush the private enterprise system,” and has vowed to block needed protections on things like fracking and carbon emissions.

Interviews include Rep. Raul Grijalva (AZ-7) and policy experts from the Natural Resources Defense Council, National Wildlife Federation, and 350.org, who share the history, purpose, and success of our environmental laws, and push back on the Republican lie that environemntal protections are bad for the economy.

With the health of millions of Americans potentially impacted by the dangerous positions of Mitt Romney and Republican lawmakers, it’s vital that this issue isn’t forgotten this election season. Help us spread the word by sharing the video.

The War On Women’s Health is Real

Republicans continue to pass harsh laws restricting access to women’s healthcare across the country, but the mainstream press has stopped paying attention.

That’s why we’ve produced a short documentary that cogently explains the state and national efforts by Republicans—including Mitt Romney—to limit access to birth control and other basic women’s health services.

Featured interviews include Rep. Lois Capps (CA-23), who as a former nurse has long been a leader on women’s health issues; Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILY’s List; and Dr. Kimberly Shepherd, an OB/GYN who provides medical authority on issues that never should’ve been politicized in the first place.

With the lives of millions of women potentially impacted by the dangerous proposals of Mitt Romney and Republican lawmakers, it’s vital that this issue isn’t forgotten this election season. Take a stand for women’s rights, and help us spread the word by sharing and reblogging this video.
