Urge PA Legislators to Pass the Pennsylvania Fairness Act

From PA Competes (http://www.pennsylvaniacompetes.org/):

Gov. Wolf’s executive order is an important step to protect hardworking LGBT state employees and contractors from discrimination. But we absolutely can’t stop there.

Now, more than 1,000 businesses are calling on lawmakers to pass the Pennsylvania Fairness Act—and ensure the long-term sustainability of our state’s economic growth.

Join them. Urge your lawmakers to stand with thousands of businesses and vote to pass the Pennsylvania Fairness Act without delay at http://action.pacompetes.org/page/speakout/govwolf.

The recent national debate on LGBT rights has made one thing clear: Businesses rely on statewide non-discrimination laws to attract top talent—and major corporations can and will invest in places that are open for business to all.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about creating a competitive, 21st century business climate that ensures all workers and consumers can participate equally in the marketplace without fear of discrimination.

In short: The Pennsylvania Fairness Act is absolutely necessary to ensuring all LGBT Pennsylvanians are protected from discrimination—but it’s also critical to the state’s economy at large.

Lawmakers have an opportunity before them to make a strong, positive impact on Pennsylvania’s economy for generations to come. They should take it—click here to send your message and tell lawmakers to pass the PA Fairness Act now.
