From the San Francisco ENDA Rally
Dear Friend of NCLR,
From Washington D.C. to San Francisco, NCLR is working tirelessly to make sure we pass ENDA, and we won’t stop until we get these crucial employment protections for our community.
Check out video of me and NCLR staff at yesterday’s ENDA rally outside Speaker Pelosi’s San Francisco office, and make sure you stand with us in our call to pass ENDA now!
In Solidarity,
Kate Kendell
Executive Director, NCLR
Dear Daniel --
Ever feel like your relationship isn't working out the way you think it should?
Well, our friends at AMERICAblog, CREDO Action and Open Left are wondering the same thing... about the Democratic Party when it comes to fighting for LGBT equality. . We all felt so strongly about it, we thought it was time to write a letter to the Democrats.
This isn't just any letter, mind you. It expresses concerns that many of us -- both straight and LGBT -- have been feeling recently. Here's the beginning of the letter:
Dear Democrats,
We need to talk.
This may be a hard letter to read, but I need to figure out if this relationship is still healthy for me...
Click here to read the rest of our open letter to the Democrats. If it says what you're feeling, sign your name to it and then forward this message to your friends. We will deliver your signatures to Democratic Party leadership:
