Take Action

Help pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act! Take this quick survey.

Have you been discriminated against or harassed at work because you are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) or because your boss or coworkers thought you were? Or have you hidden your sexual orientation and/or gender identity because you feared you might be fired? The United ENDA coalition (unitedENDA.org) is sponsoring this quick survey and will keep your information confidential, unless you agree that it can be used it in our lobbying and media efforts.
 
Members of Congress need to know how much discrimination lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people face on a day to day basis.  Take this short survey and help end employment discrimination.

Help Pass a Trans-Inclusive ENDA!

We must tell our Representatives and Senators how important these protections are to LGBT people, and all those who care about equality.

To pass ENDA in Congress in 2009, we must speak up loud and clear! We must flood their offices with calls and emails!

Contact your Representative and Senators to ask them to take swift action to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Do it today. They need to hear that this bill is our top priority.
