Demanding A Vote On ENDA, GetEQUAL Stages Bi-Coastal Sit-Ins In Pelosi’s Offices

Thu, Mar 18, 2010 by AKA William

GetEQUAL – whose co-founder Robin McGehee was arrested along with Lt. Dan Choi and Capt. Jim Pietrangelo earlier today — organized another protest, a sit-in, today, this time for ENDA with co-found Kip Williams. And the protest was bi-coastal, in both of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s offices in Washington and San Francisco. The protesters vowed to sit in the offices until ENDA was brought to a vote or they were arrested.

The protest targeted Pelosi because as Speaker of the House she can move the Employment Non-Discrimination Act to a vote

Watch Kip Williams explain why the sit in is so important. And, call Speaker Pelosi now to demand that ENDA move to the floor for a vote? (202) 225-4965.

UPDATE: As of this writing, the sit-ins are still continuing although the authorities have begun to arrive. You can get Twitter updates with #getenda.
