Minnesotans United Vacation Program

My name is Gaby and I am working for Minnesotans United for All Families, the official campaign which will defeat the constitutional amendment that would ban marriage for same-sex couples. I am contacting you today because we are offering the opportunity to be part of the first state of 30 to defeat the amendment. Please join us in our fight for marriage equality! Minnesotans United is now the largest grassroots campaign that Minnesota has ever seen - using a unique hybrid of community and electoral organizing. Programs such as, "Let Your Friends Know," are run all over the state and focus on having educational discussions with family, coworkers, and friends, to emphasize the importance of voting 'no.' We need to have over a million conversations to persuade, motivate, and keep Minnesotans with us until election day in November. In order to reach that goal, we need 1000 experienced volunteers. Almost all polling thus far has shown us below the 50% +1 majority that we need in order to defeat this amendment – that means if the election were held today, we would lose. We're beginning a professional fellowship program with our campaign and are looking to partner with various colleges and universities to give students an opportunity for personal, professional and academic development. We're offering either fall internships lasting until the election day or shorter term opportunities that could align with a student's service-learning component or research project for a course by coming here for 1 weekend - 2 weeks or a fall break. Students would receive a thorough training on our innovative strategies and work side by side with our organizers and regional organizing directors. They will receive free supporter housing but travel and other living costs will be covered by them or the partnering organization/university. In order to move forward to the application process, do not hesitate to contact Anya Svanoe at anya@mnunited.org or at 612-412-7262 with any questions or concerns you may have. Feel free to read the attached flyer. Thanks in advance for your reply. Sincerely, Gaby Fabre
