Washington State GOP U.S Reps: Protect LGBT Workers. Pass The Employment Non-Discrimination Act NOW!
Put a stop to employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act!
Why is this important?
My name is Brad and I live in Seattle, Washington. Here in Washington State we have laws that protect Lesbian, Gay, Bi, and Transgender people from workplace discrimination. However, In 29 other states, including my home state of Tennessee, people are fired everyday simply because of how they identify or who they love. In Congress the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) has been proposed every year since 2007, but for nearly 7 years now Congress has failed to act. It’s time to put an end to workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The Employment Nondiscrimination Act of 2013 has passed the Senate with bi-partisan support, including the support of 10 Republican Senators.
That's where you come in! Not every bill actually makes it to the floor of the House of Representatives. In fact, many bills die in committee because the Speaker of the House refuses to let them have a vote. But with your help, we can put pressure on our Washington State Representatives to ask that this bill be brought to a vote. It's what we believe is the right thing for Washington State, it's the right thing for our country, and our representatives should express their support in Congress.
Please stand with me and millions of LGBT Americans in asking the Washington State GOP Congressional Delegation to support House Bill H.R. 1755, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act today!
