Our History: Marriage Equality, Inc. began as an idea in 1996 with a handful of activists who believed that same-sex couples should have the freedom and the right to civil marriage, and who were angry that the federal government wanted to pass a law barring LGBT people from this right. Marriage Equality New York was founded on 12 February 1998, on National Freedom to Marry Day. Connie Ress led Marriage Equality New York from 1999 until 2001. Another early leader of Marriage Equality New York was Cathy Marino-Thomas, who served the organization in myriad roles including that of Communications Director and President of the Board of Directors. Marriage Equality New York was granted status as a 501(c)(3). The MENY PAC, a separate national political action committee was also established. The New York organization became so successful that activists in Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco, California, responding to that state's 2000 anti-marriage referendum (Proposition 22, the Knight Initiative), began Marriage Equality California (MECA). The primary activists involved in starting Marriage Equality California were Davina Kotulski, L.J. Carusone and Molly McKay, with the help of Connie Ress from New York. Molly McKay and Davina Kotulski quickly became nationally recognized public faces of the marriage equality movement, usually with McKay wearing a wedding dress which she referred to as her "battle garb". Kotulski coined the term "Love Warriors" which became used nationwide and was the title of a book she later authored about the marriage equality movement. In 2001 Connie Ress and Jesus Lebron co-founded Marriage Equality USA® (MEUSA™) and Ress served as the organization’s first Executive Director until 2005. In 2004 MECA merged with Equality California (EQCA), in the hopes of providing added strength to both organizations. The merger was unsuccessful, primarily because EQCA and MECA functioned using entirely different organizational structures. In 2006 the original leadership of MECA met with core grassroots activists who either had been involved with MECA prior to the merger, or who had worked with MECA and then with Equality California through-out the merger, but who preferred to do grassroots activism MECA-style, and voted to re-organize as the California chapter of Marriage Equality USA®. In 2005 Davina Kotulski became the Executive Director of Marriage Equality USA®, serving until 2007. After Kotulski stepped down, the Board of Directors decided not to fill the Executive Director position, opting rather to function with a working Board to oversee the legal and fiduciary duties of the organization. Between 2006 and 2010 Marriage Equality USA® expanded and established chapters in Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, in addition to the existing 20+ county chapters in California. The organization also created outreach positions in the form of Community Liaisons who represent and work with specialized communities such as Parents, Seniors, Jewish, Communities of Faith, and Asian-Pacific Islander. (Please see Visit Chapters and Community Voices.) In March 2009 the new By-Laws were adopted and approved by the MEUSA™ Board of Directors. In August of 2009 Marriage Equality USA® became a registered 501(c)(3). In June 2011 the New York Marriage Equality Act was passed and on 15 December 2011 Marriage Equality USA® and Marriage Equality New York announced their intention to consolidate. In the Spring of 2012 Marriage Equality New York (MENY) became a state chapter of Marriage Equality USA and the majority of the MENY Board of directors was voted on to the national MEUSA Board of Directors. Cathy Marino-Thomas, President of MENY, and Dave Janis-Kitzmiller, President of MEUSA, joined together to serve as Co-Presidents of the new Board of Directors. The Executive Director position was re-activated and Brian Silva was hired to fill that position for Marriage Equality USA. At the same time the current By-Laws were adopted.
Inspiration for the HelpMeSee campaign began in the late 1970s when Albert L. Ueltschi, the founder of Flight Safety International, dedicated himself to fighting blindness by cofounding and leading the organization, Orbis International. Orbis’s “Flying Eye Hospital,” an ophthalmic operating room on wings, could reach out to every corner of the globe to treat all types of avoidable blindness and to strengthen eye care practices in the developing world through training. While the Flying Eye Hospital program continued to do great work, Al realized it lacked the scalability needed to provide access to the millions waiting for cataract treatment. It wasn’t long into the new millennium when he began investigating the possible use of simulation technology to instruct cataract surgical specialists on Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery, an effective and cost-efficient procedure for treating cataracts. Together in 2010, the Gates Foundation, the A. L. Ueltschi Foundation and the Jim Ueltschi Foundation collectively contributed to the start-up and successful launch of HelpMeSee. HelpMeSee’s campaign uses a three-part approach: 1. The Training of Highly Skilled Specialists HelpMeSee is in the latter stages of developing the HelpMeSee Eye Surgery Simulator as part of an integrated learning system designed to instruction tens of thousands of cataract specialists on Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery. 2. Finding Patients in Need of Care Using an Android smartphone, community health workers find and record patient information as a photograph, voice recording and GPS location in the HelpMeSee Reach app. In this initial medical record a pre-surgery test is conducted by the partner and if required the patient is scheduled for treatment. After the procedure the community health worker is alerted through the app to conduct a 4-week follow-up vision test. A paper-based processed that used to take days is now handled electronically and in minutes. 3. Supporting High Quality Surgeries Delivering high-quality healthcare in the developing world presents a unique set of challenges. Many medicines may be counterfeit and infection rates are higher than in the developed world. In some areas accountability and standards may be week. To address these issues, HelpMeSee developed a pre-sterilized, single-use surgical kit and a cloud-based surgical reporting system. The HelpMeSee surgical kit is a complete set of the instruments, pharmaceuticals and disposables required to perform a Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery. The cloud-based surgical reporting system monitors the outcomes of all procedures. Our goal is to use these for a solution where after initial setup partners can continue this work on their own sustainably.
La mitad de la población ciega del Mundo podría curarse de ceguera mañana gracias a una cirugía que toma tan poco como 5 minutos para un adulto y 15 minutos para un niño. Hay cerca de 22 millones de niños y adultos que padecen de ceguera hoy y podrían ver mañana. Desafortunadamente, el 99% de ellos nunca recibirá esta cirugía y no recuperarán la vista por el simple hecho que no pueden pagarla o no pueden acceder a ella. HelpMeSee es la campaña global para ELIMINAR LA CEGUERA causada por cataratas, que es por lejos la causa principal de cueguera siendo la causa de hasta el 51% de los casos de ceguera a nivel global. Aproximadamente 20 millones de personas padecen de ceguera bilateral por culpa de cataratas y se estima que cerca de 167 millones sufren de impedimento visual también por cataratas. La mayoría de estas personas viven en países en vías de desarrollo donde la falta de acceso a servicios de alta calidad evita que accedan a una simple cirugía que podría recuperar su vista. En relación a una reciente publicación del Rand Health Study, la ceguera por catarata va a aumentar a 32 millones para el año 2020, costando al PBI mundial cerca de un billón de dólares. Para encarar esta crisis global, HelpMeSee fue fundada en 2010 con el objetivo de hacer el milagro de la vista posible para cada niño y adulto en el mundo. Nuestra meta es entregar Cirugías de Catarata de Incisión Pequeña (MSICS) de bajo costo a millones de adultos y niños en países en vías de desarrollo. Trabajando con 192 cirujanos de MSIC de China, India, Nepal, Nigeria, Sierra Leona, Togo y Perú, HelpMeSee ha salvado o recuperado la visión de más de 185 000 personas. HelpMeSee anticipa que superará las 325 000 cirguías para fin del año 2015. Construyendo este récord de éxito, HelpMeSee planea incrementar su trabajo de manera exponencial en los próximos 5 años. Una vez que el simulador esté en operación, se planea expandir el alcance actual a otros varios países de África, Asia y América Latina. HelpMeSee va a entrenar 1680 especialistas en MSICS para el año 2017, habilitándolos para lograr así un millón de cirugías con su apoyo. En los próximos 20 años se espera entrenar 30 000 especialistas dedicados exclusivamente a MSICS y así alcanzar los 60 millones de cirugías, eliminando así el rezago de ceguera por catarata.
