Urge the Senate to Pass the Equality Act

The Equality Act is proposed federal legislation that would establish non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ Americans in key areas including employment, housing, education, and public spaces. NJHSA is joining Keshet and other national Jewish partner organizations to mobilize in support of this critical legislation.

With a 224-206 vote in favor, the Equality Act has overcome the first hurdle of moving through Congress. While we take a moment to celebrate this affirmation that LGBTQ rights are indeed fundamental, it is now time to let our senators know that we support equality under the law and expect them to follow the House’s lead and pass the Equality Act.

Our Jewish values of Respect (Kavod) and Communal Responsibility (Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh Bazeh) urge us to do what is right. As Jews our voices are particularly important to the passage of the Equality Act. Please use your voice to urge your senators to support the Equality Act.
