Call Speaker Pelosi- (202) 225-0100

Hi, my name is [your name], and I am from [insert school and/or location]. I am calling today to ask you to stand against discrimination by bringing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act to a vote.

Currently, it is legal in 29 states to fire someone for being gay, lesbian, or bisexual and in 38 states for being transgender. This is unacceptable. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act would end this injustice by making workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity or expression illegal.

Please speak out against LGBTQ discrimination by putting ENDA on the agenda. Thank you.

Bye!

The Honorable Nancy Pelosi

235 Cannon House Office Building

Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Speaker Pelosi,

We are writing you today from [insert school and/or location] to ask you to stand against LGBTQ discrimination by bringing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act to a vote. As members of the National Marriage Boycott, a youth- led grassroots organization, we stand behind legislation to end the social and legal injustices facing the LGBTQ community.

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act would make it illegal to discriminate in the workplace on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. The fact that it is legal in 29 states to fire someone for being gay, lesbian, or bisexual and in 38 states for being transgender is unacceptable. Lives are ruined everyday this act is stalled.

   Please act now against this discrimination and help pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and we appreciate your support for equal rights.

Sincerely,

[Your name.]
