Honoring Arline Isaacson
Arline has worked
closely with JALSA on two of our major public policy issues - support of
public education and efforts to guarantee gay rights. As a member of the
Governmental Services Department of the Massachusetts Teachers
Association, Arline has successfully protected the constitutional anti-aid
amendment and prevented the diversion of public funds to private
institutions. Arline is co-chair of the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian
Political Caucus, and a founder of MassEquality, the broad based coalition
formed to protect equal marriage rights. She has worked for years to
protect and expand civil rights. She currently provides leadership in the
legislative efforts to prevent the addition of any discriminatory language
on marriage into the state constitution.
Special Presentation to Holly Gunner
Holly's
inspiration led to the creation of Temple Israel's Magen Mishpacha
(literally Family Shield) which created panels and events to educate
members of the Jewish community about the legal injustices that lesbian
and gay couples and their families face every day. Magan Mishpacha
speakers have traveled across the state, giving a "human" face to the
debate on same-sex marriage. Holly serves on the Executive Committee of
MassEquality and on the Board of the ACLU of Massachusetts.
Keynote Speaker
Renee Landers is the Immediate
Past President of the Boston Bar Association, and led the organization as
it took a prominent stand in support of equal marriage rights. She was the
first woman of color and the first academic to serve as President.
