TELL YOUR ASSEMBLY REP TO VOTE FOR GENDA!
 |
Ask your assemblymember to tell Silver to bring GENDA to a vote! |
Attention New Yorkers!
After years of hemming and hawing by Assembly leadership (see picture to right), the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA) is finally on the Assembly calendar and could be voted on any day now by the full Assembly. Today and tomorrow are the statewide GENDA call-in days. The time to act is now to get the Assembly to vote to end discrimination against transgender New Yorkers.
Call your assemblymember to tell him or her to vote for GENDA. We're in the final stretch and it is vital that they hear from you.

GENDA will ensure that all New Yorkers, including transgender people, are protected from discrimination based on gender identity and expression in housing, employment, credit, public accommodations, and other areas of everyday life. Passing GENDA will mean that transgender New Yorkers will no longer have to live in fear that they will lose their jobs, get kicked out of their homes, or be denied service in restaurants.
With 75 co-sponsors and more than 100 assemblymembers on record supporting GENDA, we know that we have enough support to get it passed in the Assembly if it comes to a floor vote. So now is the time to call your assemblymember!...
