Help Us Raise The Voice Of Working Class LGBT Folks
Picket House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at HRC National Gala In Washington,
DC- Oct. 6
Congressman Barney Frank and the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi,
are attempting to scuttle a trans-inclusive Employment
Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) by introducing a separate bill covering
sexual orientation only, as well as a token bill on gender identity.
The only major LGBT group that has not come out against this betrayal
is HRC, which will be holding its 11th Annual Gala next Saturday in
Washington, DC. Congresswoman Pelosi is the keynote speaker for the
dinner.
Only a few weeks ago, HRC leader Joe Solomonese pledged at a major
transgender conference that HRC would outright oppose any federal
anti-discrimination legislation that did not include gender identity.
You can watch the video here. Demand that he keep his word!
We've been kicked to the curb. Join us on the curb to picket the
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and demand an ENDA covering gender
identity. As labor unionists we won't sell out any part of our community.
We call on all LGBT and allied organizations that support gender
identity inclusion in ENDA to join us.
Meet at 4:15 p.m.; Picket begins at 4:30 before the Major Donors
Reception and continues through the General Reception beginning at 6 PM.
Location:
Washington Convention Center
801 Mount Vernon Place, NW
