Get the Equality Act Passed
A year ago, Champion Stella Keating (she/her) made history as the youngest transgender person to testify before Congress. “I had no idea that I was going to be making history that morning. What I did know is that it was my duty, as an American, to stand up for myself and others like me.”
In a year’s time, the senate has taken NO action to pass the Equality Act. We need YOUR help to urge senators to reach across the aisle to get this done. Discrimination against this community is a real and urgent problem. A democracy is built on the premise of representing the people. The majority of Americans want this legislation passed.
