Enough delays already!
We need Congress to get the Employment Non-Discrimination
Act (ENDA) moving forward and we need you to come to DC to help convince them.
We're working daily with people on Capitol Hill to convey the
urgency we all feel about this bill, but we need your presence as well.
That's why we decided to hold Lobby Days earlier this year than in the past -
just 2 short months from now. Your face-to-face conversations with your
Representatives, Senators, and their staff members about why this bill is so
urgently needed can propel the effort forward.
Those of you who were with us
last year remember how empowering it feels to tell your story and the
difference it can make. Our meetings then included talking about the need for
federal hate crimes legislation, which was voted on right after Lobby Days and is
now a law. Now it's ENDA's turn to pass.
Will you join us?
We'll have a policy conference as well as our Lobby Day training
again this year; there's no cost at all to register. We've kept hotel rates the
same as last year and will work with folks again to find community
housing. Both first-timers and experienced activists are welcome and
we'll be sure you have all the tools you need for your visits.
Please, take a look at your calendar and make plans to join us
in DC. And bring your significant other, your parents, siblings, children and
friends. Their voices make a big difference with policymakers.
I can't emphasize enough just how important this moment is in
our efforts to ensure that we pass a law to protect transgender people from
discrimination at work.
We're looking forward to having you here with us!
