ENDA: One Community, One Bill, One Vote
WEAKENED ENDA MEANS LESS PROTECTION FOR EVERYONE
ONE COMMUNITY, ONE BILL, ONE VOTE!
Workplace non-discrimination legislation must include sexual orientation AND gender identity to ensure everyone in the lgbt 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--a move that would leave every member of the lgbt community open to discrimination in the workplace.
We must keep the pressure on Congress to prevent this weakened ENDA from being put up for a vote by letting them know that the lgbt community will support only an inclusive ENDA and will oppose any version of ENDA which does not protect every member of the lgbt 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 the only real 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 lesbian, gay, bisexual, OR transgender people. It leaves ALL members of our community vulnerable to employment discrimination. 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.
