Help End Workplace Discrimination
In 31 states, it's still legal to fire someone because they're gay; in 39 states it is legal to fire someone for being transgender.
Thousands of hardworking GLBT Americans have lost their livelihoods simply because of who they are. The Human Rights Campaign is leading the charge to end this bitter injustice by passing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a federal bill that would make it illegal to fire, refuse to hire, or refuse to promote employees simply based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
Our momentum for this historic legislation is building on Capitol Hill. But the radical right is flooding lawmakers with lies and misinformation about ENDA.
You can set the facts straight. Send your lawmakers a message today. Make sure they know passing ENDA is the American thing to do!
