The New York Times Supports GENDA: You can too!

Today, the New York Times released an editorial supporting an issue we have been fighting here at home for years. The Gender Employment Non-Discrimination Act - known as GENDA - would prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression.  18 states have passed similar Transgender Civil Rights Bills, but not our home state of New York. We must keep the momentum of today's support going and act together to get this bill passed.  

So, what can you do? Call your Senator and our State's leadership: 

Governor Andrew Cuomo
