Official ballots were featured in The Advocate, Curve , and Our World, along with state and regional GLBT publications. Voting was conducted by mail, fax, or e-mail, and ballots could also be turned into MMOW organizers in local communities. For more than a year we listened to the thousands of incoming messages to March headquarters and from those grassroots responses we fashioned a platform ballot featuring the issues of greatest concern to our community. Voters could also write-in other issues for consideration. While acknowledging that all of the proposed platform issues are of concern to the GLBT communities, organizers encouraged participants to vote for up to five top concerns in a process to determine the priorities of the community.
Meetings are open to the public and include a public comment period.
The platform results will form the basis of stage presentations during the MMO W Rally on the National Mall. The platform will also be distributed to White House officials, members of Congress and the national media.
