UPDATE - Urge Congress to End Discrimination!


Support Baldwin Amendment to ENDA Today!

As soon as tomorrow (Wed, Oct 24), the U.S. Congress could vote on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).

Currenly the bill is not transgender inclusive. Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) will be offering an amendment tomorrow to re-insert protections for gender variant people including the transgender community. WE MUST SHOW OVERWHELMING SUPPORT FOR THIS AMENDMENT TODAY!

A loss for transgender equality could be catastrophic to efforts in Washington, and in the 50 states, to protect our entire community.



UPDATE: The vote is expected on Thursday, but still contact your Representative right away.

I did this. WTF is up with Barney Frank? I was so outraged when I heard about this; Tammy spoke about it and was so passionate about it.

This is urgent and it must be passed.

ENDA minus Baldwin has no legs.

Thanks for the info. Actually, Tammy Baldwin is my congresswoman, so I'll probably just e-mail my support.

Jess you are so lucky. I love Tammy Baldwin. I met her a number of years ago, and think she is great!
