"We are One"

ACTION ON ENDA (EMPLOYMENT NON-DISCRIMINATION ACT)

Dear Friends,

ENDA (Employment Non-'Discrimination Act) will be reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representative later this month. In 2007 "gender identity" was included in the original version but later removed into a separate bill.

Representative Barney Frank has emphasized that EDUCATING members of Congress is the key to getting "gender identity" included in the bill. "Efforts to include transgender have failed in New York, Massachusetts and Maryland" and "It doesn't get much easier when you throw in South Carolina and Utah" he said.

Now is the time to act. If we miss this opportunity we may not get another for a very long time.

Please contact me if you need more information.

I wrote my congressmen today. I can copy the letter here for anyone who wants to borrow from it.

Hi, Jaime

It's your friend, Dana. Any chance you have a sample letter of support that you could post in the comments so I have an idea what to write? I should check the links first before I ask, shouldn't I?

Thanks for helping out your sisters here, Dana

Dear Dana and others,

I have added a comment in the Law Chambers on this topic describing how to identify and send email messages to your Representative and Senators. The initial letter I have suggested is quite simple, designed to determine whether the person supports the protection for sexual orientation and gender identity at this point. After you have received the responses, I have asked to be notified of the responses so I can add the information to a national database. We can then identify what further action to suggest for each Representative and Senator.

Please contact me if you need any further information.
