About the event
In 2012 the NC State Legislature proposed Amendment One. This was a change to the NC Constitution and prohibited the state from recognizing or performing same-sex marriages, civil unions or civil union equivalents by defining male–female marriage as "the only domestic legal union" considered valid or recognized in the state.
In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the People's Alliance, join a panel of organizers and elected officials as they tell the history of the local reaction to Amendment One.
Panelists:
Kate Fellman: Executive Director of You Can Vote, PA Staff member during the Amendment One campaign
Wendy Jacobs: Durham County Commissioner, served on the Durham BOCC and first ran for election during the Amendment One campaign
Sailor Jones: State Director, Common Cause, statewide lead of Amendment One campaign
Sara Terry: Long time Durham resident and advocate, PA Board lead during the campaign
Jake Terry-Edmunds: Moderator, Clinical Research Coordinator at UNC School of Medicine
