What I'm really looking for, though, is information from activists who have actually worked on the issue. I have a lot of information about what policies exist, and what laws have been passed. What I want to know is how the activists or others working on the issue *got* them passed. What kinds of organizing strategies, persuasion, tactics, etc., were most useful? What backfired or didn't work? That kind of thing. I'm still working on this, by the way, and the group on my campus who is commited to the issue has grown to more than 60 people, so I think we'll succeed. But help and information about strategy would still be very welcomed! Thanks Selina. What I’m really looking for, though, is information from activists who have actually worked on the issue.

Maybe you could talk to the Mayor's Office on this, or just dial 311 and get connected to the people who help people with this issue. I know as a City employee that if I had a domestic partner, she'd be covered by my health insurance and be considered family on an apartment lease, etc. I just know that New York City has supports domestic partnerships.
