Congress is back in session, and now is our moment to
take action on
ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. We must tell our federal
legislators how important these protections are to our
community and
that we need a law that protects against workplace
discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. While there
are many issues
that need to be addressed to bring about equality for
LGBT people and to
protect our rights, ENDA is the bill that is being
considered in
Congress right now.
If it is to pass, we must speak up, loud and clear.
Contact your Representative and Senators to ask them to
take swift
action to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination
Act. Do it today.
They need to hear, loud and clear, that this bill is our
top priority.
Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at: (202) 224-3121.
Give the operator
your zip code and ask to be connected to your
Representative. Then,
after leaving your message, hang up and call again to be
connected to
each of your two Senators.
Suggested voicemail message:
"My name is _____ and a proud
resident of
(your city/state). I am calling in support of the
Employment
Non-Discrimination Act (H.R. 3017/S. 1584). ENDA protects
lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender people from job discrimination
and it is
critically important. Please take swift action to pass
ENDA. I can be
reached at _______ (provide your phone number). Thank
you."
Take a stand today to end employment discrimination
against LGBT people!
It only takes a few minutes to make the calls, but the
impact of your
actions will touch lives across the country for many
years to come.
Sincerely,
Masen Davis
