HB 5723, An Act Concerning Discrimination, To Prohibit Discrimination on the basis of Gender Identity or Expression is NOW on the House Calendar. AND our opposition is using fear mongering tactics and alerts to mobilize against this bill. So ACT NOW and contact your legislator telling them you support full equality. It is crucially important that our legislators hear overwhelmingly from EVERYONE on this alert, as well as forwarding to your friends and loved ones!

We need our voices to be heard to ensure that this bill is raised for a vote on the House floor quickly and without any harmful amendments!
