http://www.pamshouseblend.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=5873The U.S. House Education and Labor Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions has scheduled a hearing for June 26th on discrimination against transgender employees in the workplace. Early tomorrow, blenders, I'm taking flight to DC to cover the hearing for Pam's House Blend.
My roundtrip airline ticket has been arranged by the Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA), and my housing has been arranged by the National Center For Transgender Equality (NCTE). Besides TAVA and NCTE, the Transgender Law Center (TLC) and some individuals within the transgender community also offered to contribute to financing this trip -- I directed TLC and these individuals to coordinate donations for the trip with NCTE, as originally they were going to be the single organization to cover my trip related expenses.
