Dialing for Equality - Feb. 17

TNG Events Editor Jolly submitted this post.

The LGBT community in Gainesville, FL needs your help!

A proposed amendment to the Gainesville city charter would repeal basic anti-discrimination laws in Gainesville that protect gay, lesbian and transgender citizens, making it legal to discriminate in employment, housing, and public accommodation on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

You can help to defend equality by taking a few hours and calling Gainesville voters to encourage them to vote for equal rights.

More info on the bill can be found here.

Details:

Tuesday, February 17
6:00pm - 9:00pm
HRC Building, 1640 Rhode Island Avenue NW

As a Florida native, this is certainly something I need to take action to prevent. Thanks for posting this.
