While we do not see the legalization of plural marriage as a realistic goal in the near future, there are many places in current law where the legal rights and protections of the non-monogamous community can be improved. These include, but are not limited to:
- Divorce law
- Child custody law
- Workplace discrimination
- Military regulations and service
Modern Poly applied for 501(c)4 status to be in the best position to advocate for the rights of polyamorous families and individuals. As we grow and gather support, our intention is to lobby for the improvements of these situations and to assist individuals who are adversely affected by the laws in their current form.
Our previous work focused on infrastructure and coalition building and we have not been in a position to put resources towards this area. It is our intention to greatly increase our activities in this area going forward.
We need your support in order to accomplish this valuable work for the polyamory community. Take action by volunteering or donating to our cause.
