- the web address to which we should backlink your logo
Someone from our organisation may be available to meet with your councillors to discuss why supporting marriage equality on a local government level is important. Please use the contact us page to connect with us.
See below for a model motion but feel free to make changes deemed appropriate to your council.
Once your logo has been loaded onto our website you may wish to place this logo on your own website to show your support. Please backlink to our main web page: australianmarriageequality.org
