DC - Support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act!

Help end job discrimination!

It’s 2010, and in the majority of the country, there are no legal protections from workplace discrimination for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people!

This will change with the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a federal bill that will ban job discrimination nationwide on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.  We have the votes in Congress, we have a president who will sign the bill, now we just need to keep the momentum going!


2010 Census Outreach to Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders

Happy New Year! It's 2010, and no matter how you say it -- "two thousand and ten" or "twenty-ten" -- the new year brings one very important matter -- THE 2010 CENSUS!!!

Over the holidays, I noticed a good number of press releases and news items about efforts by AAPI community organizations to encourage, but I'm thinking that most of us were in the holiday mood, and could use a reminder of what's happening!

First, in Iowa Friday. The State Supreme Court ruled unanimously that a ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional thus opening up the doors to same sex marriage in the state. Couples can begin getting their gay marriage on at the end of the month, April 24th. California had a part in this decision as the court frequently cited California's ruling in favor of homo marriage in 2008.
