ActionLink received exciting news this week!  As you know, the Equality Act passed in the U.S. House of Representatives recently. Next it will be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, March 17 at 10 AM ET. 

I need you to contact your Senators before Wednesday to make sure they’re prepared to support this landmark legislation. 

Did you know that over 50% of LGBTQ+ Americans live in states where there are not full nondiscrimination protections? The Equality Act would ensure that all LGBTQ+…

Did you know that fifty percent of LGBTQ+ people live in the 29 states that lack comprehensive statewide laws explicitly prohibiting discrimination against LGBTQ+ people?  While 21 states and over 350 cities have passed LGBTQ+ nondiscrimination protections, this patchwork of protections is unsustainable and leaves too many people behind. 

That's why it's so important that Congress passes the Equality Act.  Introduced into Congress on February 18th, 2021, the Equality Act is bipartisan legislation that would…

As the pandemic continues, LGBTQ+ centers remain on the front lines, providing life-saving services to their communities. Now it's our turn to help them. 

The COVID crisis has shown how critical nonprofits are across the country.  Now, nonprofits like LGBTQ+ community centers are facing tough financial challenges and working to meet increasing needs as the COVID crisis continues. Congress must pass urgent relief for charities so centers can continue to do their important work.

The Ohio Fairness Act has now been introduced in both chambers of the Ohio Legislature and, for the first time ever, with bipartisan support in both chambers. For it to get out of the Ohio House Civil Justice Committee, it needs more hearings. We hope will take just a few minutes and ask the members of the Committee to support the Ohio Fairness Act and hold those hearings. 

Please join us and our friends at Equality Ohio and ask the Ohio Legislature to support the Ohio Fairness Act and add sexual…

Call (888) 521-6658 and tell your senators that the Supreme Court is #OurCourt 

We are less than two weeks removed from Justice Ginsburg being laid to rest.  It is true that it is the responsibility of the Senate to consider her replacement on the Supreme Court.  But this is not how it should be done. 

There should not have been a nomination ceremony before Justice Ginsburg was even buried.  There should not be a hearing just 16 days later, three weeks before a presidential election, when millions of…

The 2020 Census takes just a few moments to complete, but you need to do it before September 30th.  Still have questions? Here are the answers to the most common questions we receive. 

What is the Census? Every ten years our federal government conducts a count of every person residing in the United States, so that they can allocate funds for programs like Medicaid, public housing, and food assistance. It's also a way to make sure that our federal, state, and local elected officials are representing roughly…

We have the power to save our democracy. First, make sure you have a plan to vote. Then, contact your senators ASAP to tell them the Supreme Court is #OurCourt. The Senate should NOT consider a replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg until after inauguration. 

Justice Ginsburg leaves behind a legacy as a principled, dignified defender of justice. She taught us that the Supreme Court belongs not to a particular party or president…
