The National Equality March is over, and here we are waking up on a long holiday weekend. Now what? What next?

Our next step in our federal agenda should be focusing on ENDA in the Senate. For those of you not up to speed on this one, it's the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would expand workplace protections to include sexual orientaiton and gender identity. Of all our initiatives, this will affect the largest number of people in our community in the most important area of our lives: the ability to get and keep a job. And it's achievable in the next few months.

Here's the biggest bang for your buck on the fight to win ENDA, America: Indiana. These are the Legislators of the Day. Call them today!

After an extensive analysis of who's who and what's what on ENDA, I've organized the legislative priorities to win ENDA. Number one standout: Indiana. (The rest are listed, with my reasoning, at the end of this post.)

Yesterday, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act,S 1584, was introduced into the U.S. Senate by Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley, along with three other co-sponsors, two of them Republicans.

It has been widely noted in press releases that it's the first time ENDA has been introduced in the Senate, though it has been in the House in many forms on and off since 1974. This is significant not only for its historic nature, but it also signals that the real battles on this legislation are to be found in the Senate. After all, as I pointed out last month, the U.S. Senate is the only spot on earth where a majority of 100 is not 50, but 60.

Bart Stupak (MI-D-01)

For those of you who are wondering what ENDA is, it is the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2009, HR 3017, that would prohibit job discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Wikipedia has a more thorough explanation.

This series is designed to give information about legislators who are undecided about ENDA, and need some education about it. Please contact them and ask them to support ENDA.

Yesterday's Legislator of the Day, Rep. David Dreier, received "hundreds of calls" requesting support of ENDA, according to a staffer. This response shows how sore is the crying need for job equality legislation. We extend a hand to Rep. Dreier's staffers who gamely took these calls amongst the many pressing areas of business.
