HRC Back Story

Joe Solmonese issued a statement today following the House Education and Labor Committee voting to report H.R. 3685, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act providing workplace protections on the basis of sexual orientation, out of committee. A vote on the bill is expected on the floor the House next week:

Now our community must focus our full attention to the upcoming floor vote on ENDA and building support for Rep. Tammy Baldwin’s amendment that would make this bill fully inclusive of the entire GLBT community. HRC continues our fight for a bill that protects our entire community. Now is the time to act.  Call your representatives today and urge them to vote in favor of Rep. Baldwin’s amendment.
