ACTION ON ENDA

enda_4

SAN FRANCISCO - On Tuesday, July 27th, the Milk Club joined Pride at Work, Get Equal, and One Struggle One Fight to demand that Speaker Pelosi schedule a vote on the Employment Non-Discriminaton Act.The crowd heard from Jazzie Collins, Gabriel Haaland and Izzy Alvaran before picketing at the federal building outside Pelosi's office in downtown San Francisco.

enda_1ENDA now? Or in 5 years? Why is the Congresswoman from the gayest city in America blocking legislation that protects LGBT workers from workplace discrimination? Most LGBT workers have no protections from workplace discrimination, but ENDA would provide legal rights for LGBT workers nationally. Speaker Pelosi promised over and over again that she would schedule a vote but repeatedly broke these promises. We know we won't have the votes again in at least five years.

Why is Pelosi killing ENDA? It is our work and our lives that are at stake.

We demand ENDA not compromises.

Call Speaker Pelosi's office at (202) 225-0100 and demand a vote on ENDA.

Pride at Work Hosts Runway Picketline at Alcatraz Cruises

Activists Protest Firing of Vincent Atos for Labor Organizing and Being "Too Gay" Pride at Work Hosts Runway Picketline at Alcatraz Cruises

Pride@WorkPride@Work, the Harvey Milk Club, and labor activists held a fabulous protest on Saturday, June 19th, to protest the firing of Vincent Atos from Hornblower/Alcatraz Cruises for organizing a union and allegedly (this is an actual quote from Human Resources) acting “too gay” at work.

Since managers told Vincent before he was fired that he was acting “too gay” at work, we decided to have a picket that was “too gay” for Hornblower. Picketers dressed in sailor suits paraded down a red carpet runway dancing to the music of the Brass Liberation OrchestraBrass Liberation Orchestra. Protesters got on the local news and were able to send a message to Alcatraz Cruises that we won’t tolerate union-busting and homophobia in San Francisco.
