Reintroduce and Pass the Do No Harm Act
The Do No Harm Act was a bill introduced by Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-M.A.-4) in the 115th Congress of 2017-2018 that would prohibit "religious freedom" exceptions to federal civil rights, labor, and health care laws among others that would provide a license to discriminate. With democrats in control of the house, it's time for them to use their power to put an end to "religious freedom" laws across the country that create legal exemptions that allow for discrimination against people.
Why is this important?
As someone who is LGBT (bisexual) this cause is close to me because all to often, LGBT people are the target of covert discrimination attempts through the usage of "religious freedom" legal exemptions, which are explicitly designed to allow for bigots who use their religion to justify to hatred to discriminate against people. It's time to put an end to these licenses to discriminate.
