EV Alert: Support an Inclusive ENDA Today!

Support An Inclusive ENDA!

Tell Congress you’re watching: You want a transgender-inclusive ENDA passed this year!

Last week, leadership in the House of Representatives announced they were moving forward with a nondiscrimination bill that would not have protections for transgender people. The outcry from the LGBT community was united, and intense. On Sunday, September 30, the Equality Virginia Board of Directors voted to sign onto this effort by co-signing a national community letter supporting the orginal ENDA, HR 2015.

On Monday, the House leadership announced that the committee vote that was scheduled for this week was postponed. But that doesn’t mean the debate is over. We need to make sure that every single member of Congress has heard from constituents, urging him or her to support a transgender-inclusive ENDA.

Call your Representative TODAY at (202) 224-3121 and ask him or her to “support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), H.R. 2015, as originally introduced – a fully inclusive bill that provides workplace protections to gay, lesbian, bisexual, AND transgender individuals and to also oppose the 'motion to recommit' that would weaken or kill the legislation.
