The Employment Non-Discrimination Act will ban employment discrimination against LGBT people across the United States – BUT ONLY IF IT PASSES CONGRESS!
Why won’t Congress vote on this fundamental civil rights bill for LGBT people?
ENDA is stuck – and ONLY YOU can help get it moving again. We need as many people as possible to show up in front of Speaker Pelosi’s office – will you come? Will you bring friends?

We need to send a LOUD MESSAGE to Congress: PASS ENDA NOW!
We have been waiting for decades to pass a simple law that would ban discrimination against LGBT people at work. We were asked to be patient for more than a year while Congress focused on the financial crisis and health care. We were patient. We were told to lobby our representatives in Congress to get the votes necessary to pass the bill. We did the work.
Now we need to tell Congress: STOP STALLING!
We are ready. We have the support. We want a vote on ENDA now.
If we don’t get a vote in the House very soon, we will not have time to get ENDA passed in the Senate. The President will sign ENDA into law – but only if it passes Congress. It could be years before we have another chance to enact this most basic civil rights law.
