Speaker Pelosi, we have been promised a vote on ENDA in the House in March. And we mean to get it.

Tomorrow is lobby day for ENDA, and a couple hundred people are expected in DC to go talk to their legislators person to person. Here at The Bilerico Project, we arranged scholarships for those unemployed because of discrimination to get to DC and tell their stories to Senators who are on the fence. Thank you to all of those who donated. I would particularly like to thank those who assisted with major donations, including Mary Ann Horton, a well-known trans advocate of long standing, of Red Ace Technology Solutions, and Meghan Stabler, of the Board of Directors and Allyson Robinson, Associate Director of Diversity, of the Human Rights Campaign. Thank you also to Jody Huckaby and Elizabeth Fregiato of PFLAG, who graciously assisted with handling the administrative work associated with such endeavors. Thank you also to Mara Keisling and her team at NCTE, holding the policy conference, lobby training and lobby day occurring in DC this week. Our scholarship recipients are in DC right now, with hundreds of others, getting training on the latest lobbying techniques, and getting ready to tell their stories to those Senators on the fence about ENDA.
