To: Mike Pence, Governor
Tell Governor Mike Pence: It's 2015!
You recently signed a bill that would let businesses discriminate against LGBT people. Already there's massive protest against this terrible law, including companies pulling out of the state.
This kind of backward legislation has no place in our nation. We're moving forward, towards greater equality, and Indiana needs to move forward too! That's why I am standing with thousands of Hoosiers to say, "Shame on you, Governor Pence! Repeal this law today!"

Why is this important?
Yesterday, behind closed doors, Governor Mike Pence signed a law that would effectively allow individuals and businesses in Indiana to discriminate against LGBT people and others. Opponents have called it a "license to discriminate."
Tech giant Salesforce has already announced that it will pull all business from the state, and Gen Con, the largest convention in Indianapolis, has also threatened to move elsewhere in response to the new law. Additionally, thousands of Indiana residents have called on Governor Pence to repeal this hateful new law.
Across the nation, states are passing legislation that guarantees the rights of LGBT individuals. Twenty-one states have anti-discrimination laws on the books. LGBT folks can marry in 30 states--and counting! As a nation, we are moving closer and closer toward equality for all, which is why it's all the more shameful that Governor Pence is taking Indiana backwards.
