ENDA Hearing November 5 – Call or Email Your Senators and Reps TODAY

Filed Under LGBT 

Update: I’ll be liveblogging the ENDA hearing tomorrow over at iQreport.

After last night’s defeat in Maine, I’m sure many in the LGBT community are angry and heartbroken. But don’t let last night’s upset keep you from moving forward in the battle for full equality in all 50 states for all people.

On Thursday, November 5, a Senate Committee will hold a hearing on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (S. 1584). Key witnesses will testify about how vital this legislation is for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) workers and their families.

Get involved by contacting your Senators and Representatives. Calls and emails do make a difference, so do one of the following to help get ENDA passed:


Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Give your zip code and ask to be connected to your Senators, and then your Representative. Once you’re connected, please tell them the following:

My name is _____ and I am a proud resident of (your city, state). I am calling in support of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (H.R. 3017/S. 1584), to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from job discrimination. Please take action to pass ENDA now. I can be reached at _______ (give your phone number). Thank you.

If you prefer to send an email, complete the form email here.

    Just tried calling and all the circuits are busy. Email might be the best route.

    There's something funky going on with the email form. After you complete the data form on the right side of the page and hit submit, you'll have to hit the BACK button to go back and actually send the email. At the top of the page, it will say "Send this message to" and your reps will be listed there.
