ENDA: One Community, One Bill, One Vote

ONE COMMUNITY, ONE BILL, ONE VOTE!

Workplace non-discrimination legislation must include sexual orientation AND gender identity to ensure that everyone in the GLBT community is protected

House Democratic leaders continue to move forward with their plan to introduce a version of the Employment Non-Discrimation Act (ENDA) which removes protections for transgender persons. 
We must keep the pressure on Congress to prevent this weakened ENDA from being put up for a vote by letting them know that we will support only an inclusive ENDA and will oppose any version of ENDA which does not protect every member of our community. 

Please contact your U.S. Representative and Speaker Nancy Pelosi to let them know that you:

(1) Support only an inclusive ENDA, HR 2015--the original ENDA that provides protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people;
(2) Oppose a Motion to Recommit--you do not want an inclusive ENDA to be stopped by procedural maneuvers that could strip out some protections from the bill;
(3) Oppose a Non-Inclusive ENDA--any bill that does not include gender identity and expression does not effectively protect all lesbian, gay, bisexual, OR transgender people.  Only an inclusive ENDA provides the protections we need.

There is no room for "compromise" when the subject is equality for all.

With one click, you can take action now.
