The Florida House is going to vote on an anti-Transgender bill tomorrow.

The Florida House is going to vote on an anti-Transgender bill tomorrow.

Just got a message on the recorder that sent me to the blog organized by Equality Florida. Posting this in GD for assistance in vetting the information since time is of the essence:



The Transgender Discrimination Bill (HB 583) has been scheduled for a vote in its next committee of reference TOMORROW - Tuesday, March 17. We need everyone's help to stop this dangerous bill. Please call the State Representatives below and tell them to vote NO on HB 583.

Right now we have dozens of volunteer lobbyists at the the Florida Capitol for our Annual Lobby Days, who will be speaking directly with Representatives and Senators over the next two days about this shameful bill.

Opponents of LGBT equality are also at the capitol today, mobilizing around this bill and delivering their message with force. So we need you to help us - and our volunteer pro-equality lobbyists - by making these quick calls to the Representatives in the subcommittee and by SHARING this information far and wide.

Members of the Government Operations Subcommittee:

Bileca, Michael (Chair) (R) - (850) 717-5115
Santiago, David (Vice Chair) (R) - (850) 717-5027
Brodeur, Jason T. (R) - (850) 717-5028
Fant, Jay (R) - (850) 717-5015
Ingoglia, Blaise (R) - (850) 717-5035
