We started a campaign, but it was the goodwill, generosity, and participation of hundreds that made it…

Vote With Us was begun by three friends who strongly believe that sharing the simple personal reasons that many of us have for supporting equal marriage can be an important motivator for others. We wanted to create an accessible and inclusive system in which people, who had made up their mind to vote yes, could say so and say why.

Ewan Kelly

Watch Ewan’s video

Ewan is a public servant with a background in consumer and internal communication strategies, from Skerries, Dublin. He was moved to get involved in an equal marriage campaign by the controversy relating to the use of the word homophobe on RTÉ in 2014, and has worked with Dónal and Eoin to launch and manage the campaign.

Dónal Mulligan

Watch Dónal’s video

Dónal is a lecturer and researcher in online communications at DCU. He is a native of Co. Leitrim, living in Dublin, and strongly believes that people all over Ireland need to discuss and share the affirmative changes that this referendum will bring. He co-created votewithus.org to help support this process and advocate a strong yes vote.

Eoin Wilson

Watch Eoin’s video

Eoin is a political and policy advisor, and a native of Kilkenny now living in Dublin. He presently works for Independent TD Catherine Murphy. Eoin has a passion for social justice, and was motivated to co-create the Vote With Us campaign in order to contribute towards this historic and defining moment of acceptance and progress.
