Campaign Launches Civil Union Submission Pack

www.civilunions.org.nz - Civil Union Submission Pack Available Today

The campaign for civil unions released a pack, available at civilunions.org.nz, today to help people make submissions in support of the Civil Union Bill.

"We've made it easier for people by clearly setting out what they need to do to make a submission", said the campaign's Auckland co-ordinator, Michael Wallmannsberger.

The pack contains a guide to making a submission, some reasons why people support the Bills, and example submissions. It can be viewed on the site or downloaded as a PDF document.

Campaign volunteers are available to answer questions about submissions by e-mail and a series of submission writing workshops have been organised around New Zealand.

Workshop details are available online. E-mail help is available from submissions@civilunions.org.nz.
