Unemployed Because You’re Gay? Want To Go Talk To Congress?
Bil Browning, founder of The Bilerico Project (I write for them as well) is working to get unemployed members of the LGBTQ community to go lobby Congress to pass ENDA — The Employee Non-Discrimination Act. You’ll be hearing a lot more about it in the coming days and weeks.
But if you live in one of the following states, Bilerico will help pay your way to go visit Congress and tell them your story. This is important. Many members of Congress don’t think we are discriminated against. We need to “set the record straight,” so to speak.
Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, and West Virginia residents are eligible. Of course, everyone is invited to go to ENDA lobby day, March 16!
But you MUST act TODAY to be eligible for a scholarship!
