June is Pride Month! Help support the LGBTQ+ community by urging your senators and representatives to pass the Gender Inclusive Restroom bill (which mandates single-user gender neutral bathrooms in publicly accessible buildings) and the Housing Discrimination bill (which prevents landlords of owner-occupied housing from discriminating against LGBTQ people).
Actions Needed
To help pass the Gender Inclusive Restroom bill: S755
Call/email your Senator and ask them to support S755 and ask Chair of Judiciary Coyne to bring it to the floor
Call/email Sen Coyne directly (sen-coyne@rilegislature.gov) and ask her pass the bill in committee and bring it to the floor
To help pass the Housing Discrimination bills: H6215 and S563
Call/email your Senator and Rep and ask them to support S563 and H6215
Call/email Judiciary Chair Coyne directly (sen-coyne@rilegislature.gov) and ask her pass the bill in committee and bring it to the floor
Call/email Judiciary Chair Craven directly (rep-craven@rilegislature.gov) and ask him to pass the bill in committee and bring it to the floor.
And if you're at a Pride event this month, such as a flag raising, reach out to LGBTQ Action RI (LARI) to see if you can help with other projects!
