The Fight Against Discrimination Isn't Over
Holy cow! What a week!
Last Thursday, Who would've guessed that Governor Pence would have to say a RFRA bill needed "clarifying" language, that Governor Hutchinson would not sign a RFRA in Arkansas, and that the Badgers would go to the Final Four?
Okay...maybe that last one.
But stopping discriminatory RFRA legislation is just part of what needs to be done. We still need to ensuring equal access to housing, stopping anti-transgender legislation, and making schools safe spaces for all kids.
The Equality Federation is there to help from coast to coast from Alabama to North Dakota. The Equality Federation serves all the state-base organizations doing amazing work on employment non-discrimination, trans-inclusion everywhere, and ending bullying. From trainings and conferences to comms and executive director training, the Equality Federation helps provides crucial support to equality orgs across the country.
It's not quite my birthday yet, but I'll ask you for the same donation I asked last year for my birthday--$34.
Love to all of you for your friendship and support over the years, Sam
