Protect Against LGBTQ+ Discrimination in PA
IT'S TIME TO PASS THE FAIRNESS ACT
In Pennsylvania, more than half a million LGBTQ+ residents are vulnerable to discrimination every day because of a lack of express and enduring statutory protections at the state level.
The nation's largest organization devoted to the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans has declared a "state of emergency" in the U.S. amidst a growing number of dangerous and discriminatory policies. Pennsylvania remains the only state in the Northeast without an inclusive statewide nondiscrimination law. Passage of protections in Pennsylvania is a critical step to ensure LGBTQ people are treated with dignity in employment, housing, and public spaces.

PLEASE INCLUDE A PERSONAL NOTE TO YOUR LAWMAKERS IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH. IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Even if they have voted for similar legislation in the past (You can look it up here), ask them to KEEP WORKING TO FIND A LEGISLATIVE PATH FORWARD ON THESE PROTECTIONS.
