Today, a new group The Coalition To Protect North Carolina Families is launching a campaign to defeat the anti-gay amendment scheduled to be voted on the May 8th ballot. They have released two videos to start off their campaign. The first video features same-sex families speaking out against the amendment and the second video is designed to encourage people to talk about it, asking allies to speak to 1,000,000 people before May 8th and educate them in regard to the amendment.

The coalition also will begin Jan. 27 a series of events across the state to discuss with the public the harm the amendment would cause if approved.

Coalition campaign manager Jeremy Kennedy said at the campaign's statewide launch event the umbrella group represents all kinds of people from different kinds of family relationships, not just gays and lesbians.
"Our coalition is built to protect all of those families from those very real harms," Kennedy said at the Legislative Building news conference, standing in front of civil rights advocates, ministers, gay rights activists and others.
