TAKE ACTION ALERT: Anti-LGBT Groups Beating Us

Dear Members, Supporters, and Allies. This is our Final Opportunity To Express Support For Adding Gender Identity and Expression To Tampa's HRO. Anti-LGBT Equality Groups have mobilized their forces and are flooding City Council members with letters opposing adding Gender Identity and Expression to Tampa's Human Rights Ordinance, (HRO). They're beating us big time by 1714 to only 276, if these numbers are accurate, that's 6 against for every 1 in favor of the measure. We can ill afford to allow the majority of the voices our council members hear, be those from Anti-GLBT groups, we MUST have our voices heard as well. If you haven't yet called, faxed or emailed council members, time is of the utmost importance, "I IMPLORE YOU TO TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY". To make it easier for you to send a message to each city council member at once, write a message in support for amending Tampa's HRO to include Gender Identity and Expression, then copy and paste email addresses below into send To:gwen.miller@tampagov.net ; Mary.Mulhern@tampagov.net ; linda.saul-sena@tampagov.net ; john.dingfelder@tampagov.net ; thomas.scott@tampagov.net ; charles.miranda@tampagov.net ; joseph.caetano@tampagov.net. Below you'll find council members phone, fax, email and online message center information. Pressed for time, no problem, Equality Florida has set-up an online prepared message you can send to all council members in a couple of minutes. All you need to do is click this link: http://ga4.org/campaign/tampaHRO, fill in your personal information and hit send. If you already sent a message via Equality Florida's online message center, just type in your email address and hit send. Also, there's a section where you can add a personal message. We also need community members and allies to attend the Tampa City Council Meeting tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 19th., to serve as a visible presence in support of the measure. The address is Tampa City Council Chambers, 315 E. Kennedy Blvd, Third Floor, Tampa, Florida 33602. By joining together we can make our great city even better, by achieving our common goal of equal protection for all employees in the workplace, accommodations and housing.
