Right now in Parkersburg, WV LGBTQ citizens can be fired or denied housing and service in public accommodations just for who they love or how they express their gender. There are no protections at either the federal or state level. We are fighting hard to get a Non-Discrimination Ordinance passed in the 4th largest town in WV. We are smack dab in the middle of Trumplandia and it is not an easy task! Your signing and sharing of this petition would mean the world to us!

The fundamentalist churches in the area are arrayed against us. They have called the LGBTQ community all sorts of horrible names. They have claimed that trans women will attack their little girls in restrooms. They have lied, lied, and lied again. They are also trying to generate petitions with up to 7000 signatures. The petitions are, of course, filled with lies. Apparently that commandment about not bearing false witness is optional.

PLEASE HELP US OUT WITH THIS ACTION! Sign this petition so that each council member and the mayor get an email copy of it. Then, SHARE to everyone you know! This is mission-critical for the NDO. Please sign no matter where you live, because failing to protect people sends a message about WV and our country.

The same attitudes that propelled 45 to the White House are evident in the opponents of the Non-Discrimination Ordinance. Let's show them that LOVE TRUMPS HATE! Thanks!

The Raleigh News & Observer reports today that Senate Majority leader Tony Rand (D- Allegedly) has authored a bill that is anti-consumer and a gift to the insurance lobby:

A bill introduced in the state Senate calls for stripping the North Carolina insurance commissioner's authority to set rates on auto, homeowners and workers' compensation insurance.

Under the measure, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand at the urging of the insurance industry, a Superior Court judge would rule on rate disputes after conducting a hearing. Currently, the insurance commissioner presides over such hearings and determines the maximum rates that insurers can charge.
