'After a delay of the final vote in June, the San Antonio City Council is
back at work and will soon vote on prohibiting discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and veteran's status in
employment, housing, and public accommodations. No one should lose their
job or be denied service just because of who they are, or if they
served their country. This commonsense proposal to amend the San Antonio
city code will bring San Antonio in step with other major cities such
as Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Austin, each of which has included these
protections in their city ordinances.'--from the CAUSA San Antonio Non-Discrimination Ordinance Petition
CAUSA, the Community Alliance For A United San Antonio has a Change.org petition that seeks to garner 5000 signatures in support of the inclusive ordinance and they need your help TransGriot readers to get there.
I'm doing my small part from my end of I-10 to help them pass the non-discrimination ordinance including getting the word out about what's happening in the Alamo City and writing this open letter I published today to Ivy Taylor, the lone African-American councilmember.who is undecided.
The vote is scheduled to take place September 5, and it would be nice if CAUSA could hand this peition in with 5000 (or more) signatures as part of this process. They are so close to victory but need some help getting over the civil rights goalline.
Please consider signing this human rights petition and helping CAUSA expeditiously reach their 5000 signature goal.
