The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund became the first non
-LGBT organization to join a movement urging President Obama to sign an
executive order that would require federal contractors to have LGBT-
inclusive nondiscrimination policies.
The Chicago Phoenix reports that MALDEF president Thomas Saenz called on
President Obama to embrace the "We Can't Wait" initiative.
“In recent years, multiple Congresses have failed to pass the Employment
Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would ban workplace bias based on
actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity,” Saenz wrote in
a letter to Obama. “MALDEF believes the time is now right to promote
workplace fairness for LGBT individuals by taking strong executive action.” |
