Yesterday's ENDA Hearing: Use It To Pass ENDA

Yesterday morning, the House Committee on Education and Labor held a hearing on ENDA. It was very good for the bill, raising awareness in many different ways and among many different consituencies. (See Austen's summary and our liveblog, as well as the archived webcast and the witness testimony on the Committee's website.)

In and of itself, however, the hearing is not going to get the bill passed. Hearings have been held on previous versions of ENDA since 1994, and we still don't have a law.

What will get the law passed are votes in Congress, and that is the only thing that will get them passed. You can use the hearing to help get those votes. Here's how.
