Freedom to Work, an American organisation committed to banning workplace harassment and career discrimination against LGBT people in America, hosted the first-ever Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) Situation Room at New York Law School yesterday, Thursday, September 12 to plot a path forward for the historic LGBT legislation.
The event brings together, for the first time, a bipartisan group to publicly discuss the problem of workplace discrimination and the Congressional strategy for the path towards victory.
Tico Almeida, President of Freedom to Work, said:
“I’m honoured to host this bipartisan group of leading experts and advocates for this first of a kind event.
“I’m confident we’re going to win on ENDA and grant all Americans the freedom to work without discrimination. This event will focus on how we get there and get there quickly.”
Anthony Crowell, Dean of the New York Law School, added:
“For almost 125 years New York Law School has been a leader in fostering discussion and change on issues that stand at the intersection of the law, public policy and social movements. And on LGBT issues we take immense pride that we have consistently been at the forefront of efforts to achieve greater equality with our cutting edge scholarship, advocacy and service.
“Indeed, this work is what makes us New York’s law school. We’re thrilled to be hosting Freedom to Work, and their partners and guests, for this important conversation on ENDA and the ongoing issue of employment discrimination.”
