YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TO ENSURE TRANSGENDER EQUALITY IN KCMO!

Next Wednesday at noon the Kansas City’s City Council will vote on updating the city’s nondiscrimination ordinance to include protections based on gender identity. Currently it is illegal in Kansas City to discriminate in housing, employment and public accommodations based on sexual orientation. It is perfectly legal to discriminate against transgender and gender non-conforming people if the proposed ordinance passes, this will change.

You can help ensure its passage by:

* Attending the Hearing.

Wednesday, April 2nd @ noon. City Hall, 10th Floor Conference Room.

(Park at 12th & Oak, cross street and take the elevator up to the 10th floor; the conference room is to the left.)

* Call and write every member of the City Council.

Letters and phone calls get more attention than email! Leave messages! Share your personal story; provide some statistics if you have them, tell the City Council this is the right thing to do!

Mailing address, phone numbers and email addresses can be found at the City Council website (follow the link: City Council)
