3/18/10- Sit-ins target Speaker Pelosi to GetENDA

http://GetEQUAL.org/GetENDA - LGBTQ activists gather in front of the Federal Building in SF before a sit-in demanding that Speaker Pelosi move the Employment Non-Discrimination Act to a vote. Another group is sitting in Speaker Pelosi's DC office at the same time. ENDA would provide workplace protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, who can be fired without recourse in more than half the states in the US.

Don't forget to have them pass SNDA: The Student Non-Discrimination Act. They also need to repeal gay adoption/foster care bans, blood and sperm donor and surrogacy bans against gays. Repeal the so call Gay Panic Defense too. Include LGBTI people in the Civil Right Act and the Fair Housing Act and in all previous, present, and future civil rights legislation.

Kudos to all of you. Our politicians need to know we're not going to let them ignore us any longer. End DADT, end DOMA, enact ENDA and actually expand ENDA to include housing and credit like we have here in RI's ENDA, and make damned sure you support the transgendered community too.
