Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit EQMD Action Center.

The short explanation of this alert was:

It's disgraceful that Democratic leaders in Annapolis refuse to vote on legislation that would ban discrimination against transgender Marylanders.  Sadly, not all Democrats subscribe to the 2008 Party Platform, which states: "Democrats will fight to end discrimination based on race, sex, ethnicity, national origin, language, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, and disability in every corner of our country, because that’s the America we believe in." 

Equality Maryland knows that Democrat is not synonymous with pro-equality.  Our organization will not stop holding the Democratic Party in Maryland, with its super-majorities in the House and Senate, accountable for its failure to live up to its tenets.  We will work until all Marylanders are free from discrimination in housing, employment, and public accomodations. 

Thankfully, Equality Maryland is joined by a large number of legislators who pledge the same.  More than 1/3 of the General Assembly co-sponsored the transgender anti-discrimination bills during the 2009 legislative session.  Please thank these legislators for standing up for the LGBT community.
