Call Rep. Nadler NOW

From the Human Rights Campaign (HRC):

ENDA VOTE TOMORROW
Call Representative Nadler Now!
(202) 225-5635

Tomorrow, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote for the first time ever on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, an important bill that would outlaw employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Call (202) 225-5635 and urge Representative Nadler to vote YES on H.R. 3685, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

The path to this vote has been a long and arduous one. For over 30 years, the civil rights community has fought to secure a successful vote in Congress on legislation that would ensure that millions of gay and lesbian Americans would never have to go to work in fear of losing their jobs. And this year, there has been much debate about whether ENDA should include protections for transgender workers.

Throughout this entire struggle, the Human Rights Campaign has been guided by the principle of equality for all. We recognize that the version of ENDA poised to pass the House of Representatives tomorrow is not the fully-inclusive bill we all want. But we now also feel, given the current circumstances, that our best chance of passing a bill that protects all members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community in the shortest possible period of time is to pass the bill before us.

The Family Research Council, Traditional Values Coalition and their allies would like nothing more than for our movement to fail and for ENDA to die in this Congress. To stand idly by and let that happen would constitute ceding ground. Defeat of a major civil rights bill on the House floor would set the movement back many years.

Please call (202) 225-5635 and urge Representative Nadler to vote in favor of H.R. 3685, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

Thank you.
