ENDA Reintroduced in Senate

Today, ENDA was reintroduced in Senate. A press release from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force explains some details.

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force applauds today's U.S. Senate reintroduction of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would protect against workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The measure was introduced by Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Susan Collins (R-Maine). National Gay and Lesbian Task Force staff was on hand for today's press conference announcing the bill's introduction. The Task Force was the first national organization to advocate for federal nondiscrimination protections when it worked with then-U.S. Reps. Bella Abzug and Ed Koch to introduce a sweeping bill in 1974. It has played a leading role in ensuring ENDA is explicitly inclusive of transgender people.

I hoping for better luck with ENDA this time, especially including our Trans family.
