CONGRATS on OUR HUGE SUCCESS
Getting THE 2015 EQUALITY ACT FILED!!!!
In 2019 THE EQUALITY ACT PASSED THE U.S. HOUSE!!!

This covers: Employment, and also Housing, Credit, Jury & Education which cover "sex"!
THE EQUALITY ACT
will add "sex, sexual orientation, gender identity" to TWO BIG MISSING PIECES
1. All Federally Funded Programs (Title VI),
2. All Public Accommodations (Title II)
THEN WE WILL BE EQUAL UNDER THE LAW!
SO NOW WE FOCUS ON THE SENATE!

THE ONE BILL STRATEGYIn 2009, movement veterans created the first comprehensive LGBT civil rights bill - coined The American Equality Bill - which gave rise to The Equality Pledge, already supported by over 240 groups in 44 states. In 2015, we succeeded with the filing of THE EQUALITY ACT! Now we activate this Network to mobilize together, by directly empowering each activist and group to secure the vote in all 435 Congressional districts to win our equality. Join us. You can lead or follow - join a state Pledge team or create your own. Volunteers are also welcomed to the Core Campaign, coordinating state teams, media and actions. The idea is simple: get everyone to push THE EQUALITY ACT so we unite in powerful numbers behind one shared intention: seeking full & equal federal civil rights. ACTION is key. Take the Pledge and tackle the 5 ACTIONS listed to the right. ONE BILL . ONE PLEDGE . FOR FULL EQUALITY NOW. |

KEY MESSAGES
Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
"All Human Beings Are Born Free & Equal In Dignity & Rights"
Therefore:
LGBT Americans Are Entitled To Full & Equal Civil Rights Protections
"All Human Beings Are Born Free & Equal In Dignity & Rights"
Therefore:
LGBT Americans Are Entitled To Full & Equal Civil Rights Protections
1. HUMAN RIGHTS LAW REQUIRES OUR PROTECTION. The United States Government has a duty to outlaw SO/GI discrimination, period. The United Nation's Free & Equal campaign, and SOS Hillary Clinton's historic speech, make this duty clear. LGBT Americans are entitled to full civil rights protections. Now.
|
2. A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY. The real life psychological and physical harm caused by anti-LGBT stigma makes this a Public Health Emergency. Our children are killing themselves and our surviving adults live in daily fear, with severe emotional suffering called "minority stress". This must end. |
