A project of Pride at Work and National Stonewall Democrats
Unless the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and pro-equality ally community is working with advocates promoting a fair work place, critical gaps in workplace protections will remain—even if stand alone federal legislation passes. Learn how to give discrimination the “one-two” punch.

Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas: Legislator of the Day
While news of the postponement of ENDA is still fresh, and there is no word on when ENDA might get back on track, that is no excuse to slack off. It will get back on track sooner or later, and when that day comes, we will still need to make sure we have 60 Senators on board.
Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas is a key vote on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Meanwhile, Senator Pryor's cohort, Senator Blanche Lincoln, came out against ENDA in a letter to a constituent. She has, however, I have been given to understand, tentatively disavowed that letter as the work of a misinformed staffer.
We're at 56 likely yes votes in the Senate. Those last four are getting increasingly hard to find. Senator Pryor is not one of them, though he could be. Please call Senator Pryor today to ask for his support for S.1584.
