Tell Congress it needs to pass ENDA now!

Today, the House Education and Labor Committee will hold a hearing to discuss ENDA, the federal employment nondiscrimination law that would ban discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans. It is past time for Congress to pass ENDA -- please take action NOW to help us get the support we need. We must tell our Representatives and Senators how important these protections are to LGBT people.

If passed, ENDA will ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity in all aspects of employment, including hiring, termination, promotion and compensation. Since currently it is still legal in thirty states to fire an employee based on sexual orientation, and in thirty-eight states to fire an employee based on gender identity, ENDA is an exceptionally important piece of legislation that deserves our community's full support and attention.

Please take a minute of your time to fill out the contact information on CenterLink's website and send out a letter to your senators and representatives urging them to support ENDA, and ask your friends, family and constituents to do the same.
