Show your support for Nicky’s work
You may have heard our Executive Director, Nicky Grist, has accepted a job at the Urban League, which means that we must say farewell. Nicky has worked tirelessly for AtMP since 2005. In that time, she has done great work addressing inequality in federal marriage programs and healthcare coverage for unmarried people. Nicky’s work helped to secure hospital visitation rights for nontraditional families. Additionally, Nicky has led action campaigns to speak out against discrimination, notably the eviction of an unmarried family in Blackjack, MO.
Please show your support for Nicky’s work by making a special donation in her honor. We’ll all miss her!

Among the many other accomplishments mentioned, I especially appreciate Nicky’s research and editing and re-editing innumerable times to present a clear and fair picture of the marriage tax bonuses and penalties in federal income taxes, according to the Treasury Department, CBO, and Congressional Research Service. (And dispelling the myth that there is an overall marriage penalty. Just the opposite — for every 3 married couples that pay a marriage penalty, 5 married couples get a marriage bonus. And overall, marriage bonuses exceed marriage penalties by $30 billion (in 2004). This $30 billion subsidy is paid for by unmarried / single people.
