Pride At Work

Washington, D.C., Chapter

PAW-DC News
Pride At Work members, supporters, and their family and co-workers are encouraged to contact their Representatives and Senators regarding the attack on civil and workers' rights being conducted at the federal Office of Special Counsel by calling the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and asking for their member by name [Calls and visits to local offices are also valuable.]. Pride At Work-DC recently sent a letter to key oversight committee members in both chambers protesting Special Counsel Scott Bloch's continued abuses and urging his immediate removal.
 
On May 9, 2007, Senator Daniel Akaka and Representative Henry Waxman introduced federal legislation to reverse Bloch's ravages on non-discrimination policy. Their bills would restore protection on the basis of sexual orientation for all federal workers. Please lend your support so that this crucial bill becomes law.

We honor three leaders of demonstrated courage, service, and leadership. The Champions for Justice awards showcase special individual efforts in fusing together different constituencies and movements to advance justice on the job and in the community. We are proud of the significant, strategic contributions of our past honorees.
