No One Gets Left Behind! Take Action: ENDA

Please help ensure that no member of our community is left behind!
Contact your U.S. representative today to keep the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) transgender inclusive!

Members of Congress have decided to move forward with a version of ENDA that does not include gender identity. The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community has worked very hard to add transgender protections to this legislation. It is critical that our representatives hear from each of us now urging them to keep both sexual orientation and gender identity in the bill.
Please urge them to support an ENDA that is fully inclusive, and let them know that you don’t want any member of the LGBT community left behind.Contact your representative today by calling the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202.224.3121 and asking to be connected to your representative's office.

When the office receptionist answers, you can say:

"Please tell the representative that I oppose any version of ENDA that does not include both sexual orientation and gender identity. Studies and surveys consistently show that between one-third and one-half of all LGBT respondents have suffered employment-related discrimination. Transgender people, in particular, desperately need the protections ENDA would provide. Congress should pass the original version of ENDA that includes both gender identity and sexual orientation."
