Team,
This Pride Month, the Supreme Court made the historic decision declaring that workplace discrimination against members of the LGBTQ+ community is illegal in the United States.
This is an important step forward in the fight for LGBTQ+ civil rights, but we must go further to ensure equality in housing, credit, education, and so many other areas. That’s why I helped introduce the Equality Act last year -- and am still pushing the Senate to pass this legislation.
While we have made tremendous progress in the fight for equality, the LGBTQ+ community is still not fully protected from discrimination. That’s why we need to pass the Equality Act now.
It is simply inexcusable that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has refused to bring this House-passed legislation to the Senate floor for a vote. The LGBTQ+ community should not be forced to wait any longer for full equality under the law. The Senate must take urgent action.
Thank you,
Jacky
