Speak Up And Picket Nancy Pelosi- Join The Picket Line! Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)

[Omaha Steve]

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 the 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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_GhTiBO8Cw 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.
