Grassroots Campaign Will Target Representatives and Senators in Key States
WASHINGTON – Today, GetEQUAL — a national, direct action lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization — announced the launch of its grassroots "ENDA Summer" campaign. The campaign, designed to target Representatives and Senators from several key states, will focus on "pull[ing] out all the stops to get ENDA passed in 2010." The 2010 target date for passage comes from repeated promises by Democratic House and Senate leadership that a vote on ENDA would be scheduled this year. Recently, GetEQUAL released a timeline showing decades of broken promises and excuses from elected officials that have led to the stalling of any federal protections being in place for LGBT workers. The timeline can be viewed in its entirety at:
